ASCENT Programs for Physicians
Asahi Build A Wire
ASAHI Build A Wire (BAW)
BAW is a great new extension to our Fellows training courses and is designed to provide an excellent hands-on experience to “build” an Asahi wire. Two certified trainers will present a 15-minute comprehensive guide wire didactic session and are the instructors during the interactive workshop that explains the process and complexity of building a composite core wire. The attendees depart with the wire they built. There will be two stations with 1 Fellow per station= 45 minutes with additional simulators and a skills lab set up for other attendees. At the end of the program, you will be able to name and keep the wire you built.
ASAHI PATHFINDER Educational Events
Pathfinder are specialized educational programs for physicians, teams, and fellows alike. KOLs and thought leaders specializing in complex cases lead the event providing an interactive and engaging environment. The ultimate goal is to allow Q&A within an intimate group of like minded physicians to facilitate comprehensive understanding of how to manage the overall challenges in treating patients. These programs are also comprised of live virtual case broadcasts to demonstrate complex procedures in which physicians learn judgment, skills, and advanced techniques to optimize patient care nationally and internationally.
