Our Cardiology Masterclass has an expert faculty lined up to summarise the latest research and clinical practice updates over 10 modules (see the agenda below for topic breakdown).
Our program was designed specifically with primary care physicians in mind and our evidence-based presentations have a strong focus on providing practical advice with plenty of time for Q&A so you can gain the specific knowledge you require.
Session outline for each topic:
- 2min – multiple-choice primer questions
