What some of our members have to say . .
I've been part of the MCA research group since 2021 joining the group after meeting Dr. Yasar Sattar in ACC that year. This group and the mentorship provided by Dr. Alraies has been one of the most important reasons I matched into cardiology fellowship in the first attempt. The collegiality that exists here and the opportunities in research for trainees of all levels is unparalleled. Privileged to be a part of MCA.
