Furman Fund Travel Scholarships
In 2009 the Heart Rhythm Foundation’s The Furman Fund established travel scholarships to enable cardiologists-in-training interested in pursuing electrophysiology research to attend the Society's Annual Scientific Sessions. The fund is named for Seymour Furman, MD, FHRS, who was a pioneer in cardiac pacing and electrophysiology; his early innovation and subsequent academic endeavors were greatly facilitated by his national and international collaborations. These scholarships continue his vision of educating future leaders.
