Edwards Lifesciences

We partner with physicians to innovate products designed to help patients live longer, healthier and more productive lives. We focus on medical technologies that address large and growing patient populations in which there are significant unmet clinical needs.

Edwards is built on the skills and talents of our employees. Ongoing professional development of our employees is critical to our mission. Strengthening our organization is one of our company's key initiatives, and strengthening our organization includes developing our employees.

Edwards University provides our employees with tools to help them better manage their professional development needs by bringing together educational content from all areas of the company in one platform.
