The Brigham Board Review and Comprehensive Update in Cardiology 2023
The Brigham Board Review and Comprehensive Update in Cardiology includes case-based lectures and in-depth discussions from cardiology experts, updated to current guidelines in clinical practice.
This online CME program is a thorough review of the core concepts and emerging trends in the field of cardiology, covering a wide range of topics: coronary and peripheral artery disease, heart failure, cardiovascular disease prevention, hypertension, obesity, non-invasive testing, pericardial and valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and more. It’s continuing medical education that will help you to better:
- Apply knowledge gained to the ABIM certification/recertification cardiology board exams
- Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to cardiology disorders
- Identify and integrate current therapeutic options for specific cardiology disorders
- Analyze and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice in cardiovascular medicine
- Express pathophysiology knowledge as it applies to cardiology disorders management
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Apply current/recommended cardiology guidelines in clinical practice
- Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to cardiology disorders
- Identify/integrate current therapeutic options for specific cardiology disorders
- Analyze and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice in cardiovascular medicine
- Express knowledge of pathophysiology as it applies to management of cardiology disorders
- Apply knowledge gained to the ABIM certification/recertification cardiology examinations
Intended Audience
The primary group of learners will be fellows/trainees and practicing cardiology specialists (MDs) and other professional affiliates (internists with an interest in cardiology) who are preparing to become board certified, maintaining their certification, or who seek CME activities to improve patient care in the area of cardiovascular medicine.
