American College of Cardiology’s Cardiovascular Summit Virtual (CV Summit) will feature three days of live content on Feb. 17-19, 2022, providing opportunities for the entire CV team to learn from multi-dimensional education courses on CV management and leadership strategies.
Course director Bo Walpole, MD, FACC, and course co-directors Cathleen Biga, MSN, RN, FACC, and Geoffrey Rose, MD, FACC, have designed CV Summit for members of all practices—private, integrated and academic—to discover innovative approaches to patient care and clinician experience in the areas of: managing rapid change, transforming cardiovascular care, optimizing the clinician experience, navigating health care economics and enhancing the academic agenda. Participants will learn to employ leadership strategies that foster collaboration, teamwork, diversity and inclusivity, along with best practices to sustain workforce well-being, key elements of a value-based practice environment and much more.
Participants will also be able to join Biga and select faculty for a pre-conference workshop on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 6:30-8:00 p.m. ET to discuss “Building Your Foundation for the Cardiovascular Summit.”
