This annual lectureship was established in 2024 in memory of ASE Past President, Bijoy Khandheria, MD, FASE. Dr. Khandheria served on many Society committees and task forces throughout his esteemed career. He helped establish ASE’s educational course portfolio and was the co-director of ASE’s State-of-the-Art Echocardiography course from 1995 through 2020. He helped expand ASE’s visibility on the world stage. As ASE’s first Indian (nationality) President, Dr. Khandheria helped ASE establish ties with India that are still in place today, assisting Indian healthcare professionals to become one of the largest contingents of non-US, ASE members. He was a world-renowned clinician and sought-after speaker and educator throughout his career as a cardiologist. To honor his global legacy, this annual lectureship, presented at ASE’s Annual Scientific Sessions, will feature a global health related topic.

This lecture is chosen by the ASE Scientific Sessions Program Committee.
