    Optimal Management in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2024
    The Colonnade Hotel, 120 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts, 02116, United States
    Calendar Event

    2024 Course Overview

    This is the 38th year of our postgraduate course in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery! Providing a unique function in the CME forum, it involves all of the Boston area medical centers - bringing together highly distinguished faculty, including leaders in the field who are recognized authorities on the national and international scale. The Linton Lecture, an ever-popular highlight of the course, will be presented this year by Dr. Michael Conte of the University of California, San Francisco.

    The course is a focused, up-to-date approach on topics of keen interest in vascular disease, including patient assessment by vascular surgeons and other vascular specialists. Talks provide perspectives on optimal approaches to evaluation, diagnosis and management (including technical performance in ‘How I Do It’ sessions) and offer specific evidence-based treatment options for a wide array of vascular problems. Additionally, we’ll address and discuss many existing controversies in the field.

    Learnings can translate into improved patient outcomes through a better understanding of pathogenesis, the diagnosis and natural history of the disease processes and how to select the optimal methodology for treatment. Register Today!

    Who Should Attend

    The target audience for this postgraduate course includes clinical practitioners treating patients with arterial and venous vascular disease in any capacity

    Vascular Surgeons

    Vascular Medicine Specialists

    General Surgeons

    Cardiovascular and Cardiothoracic surgeons

    Learning Objectives

    The specialty of vascular surgery has evolved dramatically, but never more profoundly than in recent years. In view of the rapid development of novel, evolving technologies, the generation of information at a rate faster than at any time in history, and the unprecedented increases in population health concerns around circulatory disease, there has never been a more challenging time to be a vascular surgeon… or a time when it has been more critical to keep abreast of developments in the field! This course provides a unique function in educating attending surgeons as well as fellows, involving all of the Boston-area and major North East medical centers, providing perspectives from highly distinguished faculty, including many leaders in the field who are recognized authorities on a national and international scale.

    Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

    Optimize carotid artery disease management.

    Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program for Healthcare Professionals
    Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, 565 1st Street Southwest, Rochester, Minnesota, 55902, United States
    Calendar Event

    Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program for Physicians 2024 offers 4 sessions, each limited to 12 participants each: March 7-9, 2024; May 2-4, 2024; September 12-14, 2024; or November 7-9, 2024.

    There is substantial evidence on the role that diet and nutrition, physical activity and exercise, and resiliency plays in preventing and treating chronic diseases and improving quality of life. Traditional CME courses use a classroom-based format to educate healthcare providers in these areas. However, it is challenging for people to make beneficial lifestyle behavior changes, and education by itself doesn’t necessarily promote behavior change. This course is experiential as well as educational. It is based on The Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, a program designed to help people make beneficial lifestyle behavior changes. In this course, attendees learn about lifestyle medicine, and actively participate in classes designed to help create an individualized wellness plan. Learning in this personal manner helps participants counsel patients on making these same healthy behavior changes.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Recognize the relationship between health behaviors, chronic disease, and the quality of life

    2. Assess patient wellness in their own clinical practice

    3. Employ wellness concepts in their own life

    4. Demonstrate how to track health behaviors

    Target Audience: Includes healthcare professionals practicing in internal medicine, primary care, preventive medicine, concierge medicine, cardiovascular medicine, and endocrinology. In addition, healthcare professionals in all specialties may find the information and experience beneficial.

    Date and Time: On Thu, 07 Mar 2024 07:30 - Sat, 09 Nov 2024 15:00
