North Carolina ACC - Chilean International Twinning Program
The American College of Cardiology created the Chapter Twinning Program to establish relationships and opportunities between ACC State Chapters and International Societies to exchange education and ideas. In 2018, the North Carolina Chapter established a program with the Chilean Society of Cardiology (SOCHICAR) and the faculty of the University of Chile of Medicine. The Chapter looks forward to further collaborations with academic institutions in Chile. The purpose of the program is to develop a wide variety of activities with a long-term focus on improving cardiovascular care in Chile and North Carolina.

Amy Winiger presented on the role of ACP in Cardiovascular Care Teams. In Chile there is no training for ACPs and the presentation gave a very important overview that was received with much interest.
Dr. Gibbs interacted with ER Physicians from University of Chile, gave lectures and will continue this interaction. When the program was established with the University of Chile and the Chilean Society of Cardiology, the idea was to have other specialties involved and Dr. Gibbs has solidified this part of the relationship with Chile
