It is with fond memories that I submit this report on my recent experience as the SASCI Visiting Professor. Participating in the 2020 SASCI VPP has truly been one of the highlights of my career. The opportunity to integrate and practice alongside the South African interventional cardiology community was both professionally rewarding and personally fulfilling. I feel that I have made lasting friendships among the many eager and talented faculty while hopefully opening avenues for trainees to grow and challenge themselves into the future. I would without question recommend the program to my US colleagues, and better yet, would welcome the opportunity to return again myself some day!
