The Brigham Board Review and Comprehensive Update in Cardiology

Overview

Comprehensive, Current Cardiology CME Review

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
