The Brigham Board Review in Cardiology

Brigham and Women’s Hospital Board Review

Expand your knowledge with this CME program that details the evolving medical guidelines and the latest therapeutic strategies in Cardiology. Ideal for MOC.

Keep Abreast of the Current Trends in Your Field

This CME program, featuring experts in the practice of cardiology, is a comprehensive review of the core concepts and emerging trends in the field. The Brigham Board Review in Cardiology, with case-based lectures and in-depth discussions, covers a range of topics like stable ischemic disease, peripheral artery disease, diseases of the aorta, heart failure, pacemaker therapy, syncope, etc. It will help you to better:

• Effectively implement the latest cardiology guidelines in clinical practice
• Identify/integrate current treatment options for specific cardiology disorders
• Evaluate and construe up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice in Cardiovascular Medicine
• Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to cardiology disorders
• Express knowledge of pathophysiology as it applies to management of cardiology disorders
• Pass the ABIM certification/recertification Cardiology examinations
