Series Overview

This series utilizes lectures and case-based discussions enabling learners to provide state of the art, patient-centered cardiovascular care to patients in the clinic, on the inpatient services, and in the diagnostic laboratory. We aim to improve knowledge and competence among learners and clinical teams as they gain new information, skills, and team-based strategies to optimally practice within their subspecialty. This includes knowledge of new and developing research, technology, therapy and practice guidelines for treating cardiovascular related diseases, changes in our care delivery system, and practice issues identified in QA conferences.

Global Objectives

• Provide state-of-the-art, interprofessional, patient-centered cardiovascular care to patients in the clinic, on the inpatient services and in the diagnostic laboratory.
• Apply knowledge to clinical practice in the areas of diagnostic testing for cardiovascular disease, use of newly released medications, and implementation of guideline recommended treatment for cardiovascular disease.
• Effectively communicate with the members of interprofessional, multidisciplinary healthcare team to optimize management of the multitude of diseases involving the cardiovascular system.
• Thoughtfully assess strategies to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts to better serve patients and address health disparities.
