    <International Circulation>: As Chair of the ACC.11 meeting， what were your goals for this year’s event?

  《国际循环》：作为ACC.11年会的主席，您对于这次会议有什么样的目标呢？

    Prof Crawford: We have three components to the program. We have the latest science that we want to present to keep our members on the cutting edge. We have structured sessions that we put together based on suggestions from our membership and other societies around the world for topics that are controversial in worldwide cardiology. We aim to have thorough discussions about those， and symposia and panel discussions with experts and so on. Thirdly we have the lifelong learning sessions where physicians can refresh their skills and knowledge perhaps directed towards maintenance of certification or licensure in their State. We try to put these three components of the meeting together in a place where they can also relax and have some fun so we have the meeting in New Orleans.

    Crawford教授：我们的计划有三个构成要素。我们有最新的科学进展要呈现给我们的与会人员，让他们能了解最前沿的领域。我们在一起组织了基于自我们会员和世界其他社会组织的建议的研讨会，就世界心脏病学领域有争议的话题进行了讨论。我们的目的是对上述话题进行充分的讨论，并与专家进行专题和小组讨论等等。第三我们有终身教育课程，医生可以更新对于自己国家的医师证书或执照维护的技术和知识。我们试图将会议的放在一个轻松和充满乐趣的环境下，于是我们选择在新奥尔良举办。
