“Over the years, ASE has given me tremendous opportunities to enhance my professional career.  As a new generation of medical professionals enter the field, I am eager to contribute to the ASE Foundation to help continue this legacy  and advance research and education in echocardiography for the betterment of cardiovascular health.”

"Receiving the Alan D. Waggoner Student Scholarship was monumental for me. In addition to providing much-needed financial assistance, it became a cornerstone in the inception of my echocardiography career and, I believe, ultimately helped me land my dream job upon graduation. It is a testament to the exceptional curriculum under which I have studied and further enhances the ASE as an invaluable resource for my professional aspirations."

“I was thrilled to have the opportunity to attend the Scientific Sessions in Montreal where I was surrounded by likeminded individuals who shared my passion for research.  As someone who has personally benefited from the work of the [ASE] Foundation, I felt that making a personal investment in the 2011 Annual Appeal was a meaningful way I could help offer the same opportunity to future generations of students.”

"Imaging science with echo will die unless momentum is maintained. This is why I am so passionate about the mission of the ASE Foundation.  As ASE members, we must continue the tradition of supporting young investigators, career development and funding research projects in echo."
