                        The Young Investigator Award was created soon after the Society was established in 1979. Apart from the annual Scientific Session, the society believed that the most important action they could take to advance the field was to encourage and support physician-scientists and basic scientists to pursue advanced study of heart rhythm disorders. The Young Investigator Awards (YIA) competition, recognizes and encourages the work of young investigators and their parent institutions. This session will highlight the science of Clinical EP Finalists.
