Scientific Sessions

PHA 2026 Scientific Sessions will bring together health care professionals from all disciplines to earn continuing education credit, network with fellow pulmonary hypertension professionals, learn about the latest research and discuss best practices for PH treatment and management. This year’s theme, “Dawning of a New Era” ties into the PHA 2026 conference theme, “PHixin’ to Find a Cure,” with sessions focused on updates to PH treatment and care since the last PHA conference. PHA 2026 Scientific Sessions begin Thursday, June 11, with unopposed viewing of the research poster hall.

Abstracts

The call for late-breaking poster abstracts is now closed. Presenter and submitter notifications for abstract submissions are expected by late March 2026.

Continuing Education Credit

Earn up to 11 continuing education credits for attending Scientific Sessions and lightning round abstract presentations. Continuing education credits are provided through the Pulmonary Hypertension Association and AffinityCE.

CE credits are available for physicians, physician associates, nurse practitioners, nurses and pharmacists. A general participation certificate is available for other attendees. Participants should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
