Close the Gap
Rapid technical and clinical advances in the field of heart, lung and vascular disease management have left a gap between the care provided by specialists and general internists and family physicians in community practice. Heart, Lung, Vascular: Strategies for the Primary Care Provider will offer strategies and methods, so participants can begin to close that gap at their practices.
Primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals will leave this conference with the basics of cardiology and pulmonary information as well as knowledge of the most recent advances in the field.
