He will help train interventional cardiology fellows, lead and contribute to investigative projects, help grow the annual Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) meeting and serve as Editor-at-Large of the Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine (CRM) journal. “We are very excited that Dr. Mintz is joining our group,” said Ron Waksman, MD, Director of MCRN and Advanced Education and Associate Director of Cardiology at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC.

In 2005, Dr. Mintz published the single-authored textbook Intracoronary Ultrasound. He has trained more than 200 research fellows, many of whom are now key opinion leaders in their countries and internationally. In 2014, he received the “Master of the Masters” career achievement award and the Chien Foundation Award for Outstanding Lectureship and Lifetime Achievement at the TCTAP-Cardiovascular Summit in Seoul, Korea. He also received the Outstanding Achievement Award at CBS 2017 in Nanjing, China, and the Career Achievement Award at New Frontiers in Interventional Cardiology (NFIC) 2018 in Krakow, Poland.
