NEEDS STATEMENT

As medical research and technology change rapidly, it is increasingly important for physicians and healthcare professionals to stay informed of new evidence. Newly learned pathways can be used as potential mechanisms and alternative strategies in new research applications. In addition, topics on how to apply new diagnostic and imaging techniques can create opportunities for collaboration with the developers of these techniques in new research protocols.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Physicians, Fellows, Residents, Trainees, Physician Assistants, and Nurses/Nurse Practitioners specializing in cardiovascular research and care, and all other practitioners interested in cardiovascular sciences

• Summarize the novel molecular mechanisms of vascular disease.

• Discuss changes in the immune microenvironment in pediatric heart transplantation.

• Describe lineage determination from stem cell to cardiac progenitors to different types of cardiomyocytes.

• Discuss the regulatory mechanisms that lead to premature onset aging-related cardiovascular diseases observed in cancer survivors and their mitigation strategies.

EDUCATIONAL METHODS
Lecture and Question & Answer
