The University of Michigan Cardiac Anesthesia team will give a new Trans Esophageal Echocardiography (TEE) seminar on February 13, 1999. The first TEE seminar was held last December and offered a half-day session for U-M residents and invited local physicians. The turnout was good in spite of it being a beautiful Saturday morning.
