FP Report -- September 1998 Upcoming symposia will explore cardiovascular health
As the 1998 Annual Clinical Focus -- Prevention and Management of Cardiovascular Disease -- winds down this fall, you can still take advantage of regional symposia across the country to expand your skills in caring for patients at risk for heart disease.
The symposia are offered in cooperation with the American Heart Association and AAFP constituent chapters, said LeAnn Carl, ACF manager in the AAFP Education Division. FPs will receive CME credit for attending the programs, which feature lectures, panel discussions and case studies, she said.
The topics are "Case Studies in Patient Management of Cardiovascular Disease," supported by a grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company; "Women and Heart Disease," supported by a grant from Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories; and "Cardiovascular Risk of Obesity," supported by a grant from Knoll Pharmaceutical Company. You can attend the symposia in the following cities:
- "Case Studies in Patient Management of Cardiovascular Disease" and "Women and Heart Disease," Oct. 16 in Overland Park, Kan.; Oct. 23-24 in Oak Brook, Ill.; and Nov. 13 in San Diego;
- "Case Studies in Patient Management of Cardiovascular Disease" and "Cardiovascular Risk of Obesity," Nov. 20 in San Francisco; and
- all three topics Jan. 30-31 in Baltimore, Md.
