Target Audience

Needs Statement

Clinicians engaged in the practice of cardiovascular medicine including physicians in practice, faculty members, fellows, residents, medical students, allied health and other healthcare practitioners and care team members in related disciplines need to receive regular updates on evidence-based clinical practices, and technological and pharmaceutical advances in cardiovascular medicine. The series aims to expand the knowledge of learners, advance their clinical skills and competencies, address the challenges of healthcare delivery in the clinic, hospital, diagnostic, and surgical settings to enhance the quality of cardiovascular care, and improve patient outcomes by providing education to address gaps arising from the continually evolving practice standards, how to implement them, and the steps for performance change.

Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, literature review, panel discussion, and audience response.  

Objectives

At the conclusion of the sessions, the participants should be able to:

• Integrate evidence-based guidelines and emerging research into the diagnosis, management, and lifetime care of cardiovascular patients, including as relevant and appropriate, the use of advanced imaging, pharmacologic therapies, and/or procedural innovations.
• Enhance clinical decision-making and multidisciplinary collaboration by applying updated standards and risk stratification tools to complex cardiovascular cases across inpatient, outpatient, and surgical settings.
• Evaluate performance data, guideline updates, and literature to improve care delivery, patient safety, and health outcomes.
• Implement strategies for continuous performance improvement through quality initiatives, interprofessional education, and the translation of new technologies and standards into clinical practice.

Evaluation

Participants may be asked to complete a session evaluation.
