COURSE DESCRIPTION

The annual Hopkins course is for practitioners seeking a comprehensive review of the year's most topical issues.  These may include:

  • Cardiologists
  • general practitioners
  •  internists

This activity is clinically oriented, including:

  1. case presentations
  2. updates on clinical practice
  3. reviews of multi-center trials data
  4. an emphasis on the scientific underpinnings of cardiology practice.

Subjects range from ion channels to outcomes research, given by faculty who are in day-to-day practice, drawn from the Hopkins cardiology division and related specialties of renal medicine and cardiac surgery.


"Meet the Professor" sessions offer the opportunity to bring interesting or problem cases to stump or share with our clinical experts. As in previous years, we offer an ACLS training and certification module.
