About the Association of University Cardiologists
Founded in 1961, the Association of University Cardiologists is an organization that
is limited to an active membership of 125 academic cardiologists from the United States,
elected by their peers. The group has a purely educational purpose and meets once
per year in January for a two-day session of scientific interchange. The members traditionally
are the leaders and best investigators in American cardiology. The Association of
University Cardiologists contains those cardiologists who shape the course of research
and training in cardiovascular disease in this country.
