Abstract

Continuous medical education (CME) and live workshops are the junctures where we sharpen our knowledge. I share one such experience when I attended the 18th live workshop at GKNM hospital in Coimbatore. The best part of the meeting was the rendezvous with Dr. Hartzell V Schaff wherein he shared his experience and listed the qualities for a successful cardiac surgeon.
