Cardiology for the Primary Care Provider Conference

Course objectives

This annual course is designed to provide education on state-of-the-art evaluation and management of patients with (or at risk of) cardiovascular disease. Educational formats include didactic lectures, interactive small group sessions, case-based learning, and an ECG round table.

We are particularly thrilled to announce that this year, we will feature two residents who will present four challenging "Stump the Professor" cases during our innovative interactive breakout sessions. These cases will encourage active participation and critical thinking among all attendees.

The schedule spans three half-day sessions, providing participants with ample opportunities to network, exchange ideas, and cultivate professional relationships. In addition to the rich educational experience, attendees will have the chance to unwind and appreciate the stunning natural beauty of the Oregon Coast, fostering a perfect blend of learning and leisure.
