| Aug 26 - 31, 2012 | | | Pediatric Cardiology 2012 Review Course |
| | Description: | The 2012 Pediatric Cardiology Review Course will be a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of all aspects of pediatric cardiology. An all star faculty in the fields of pediatric Cardiology, Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Cardiovascular Surgery, heart Failure, and Critical Care, will provide in-depth lectures and case presentations. This course will cover the wide spectrum of subspeciality content important to individuals preparing for certification in Pediatric Cardiology. Mini symposia in electrophysiology, exercise physiology, statistics & epidemiology, test taking skills, and professional development as well as workshops in cardiac anatomy, pathophysiology, echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization will provide an unparalleled interactive learning experience for all attendees. A "board format" question and answer session will be held with each lecture and again each evening to review the daily course content as well as hone the participant's test-taking skills. Although this course is designed to prepare the pediatric cardiology subspecialist for board certification or re-certification, it will also provide the practicing pediatric cardiologist, adult cardiologist, or primary care physician with a comprehensive review of the most up-to-date knowledge and newest scientific advances in our field. | | | Location: | The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel Dana Point, CA USA | | | Contact Name(s): | Mayo School of Continuous Professional Development | | | Director(s): | B.
