Event Description:  REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. Walk-ins and Live Stream registrations will be welcome on Friday morning, January 16, 2026.
No field in medicine has a faster pace of change and innovation than cardiovascular disease. As advancements continue to evolve rapidly, it is increasingly difficult for providers to stay current with all aspects of cardiovascular care. That is why we are offering a comprehensive course designed to provide an essential annual update for physicians, advanced practice providers, and nurses. This course covers a broad range of cardiovascular issues. By participating in this symposium, participants will gain practical, evidence-based knowledge and skills to close any gaps and ensure optimal patient care.

Participants are able to attend in-person or via live stream. This selection must be made during registration.
