CardioCareLive has successfully grown since its first virtual continuing medical education (CME) congress in March 2009. More than 20,000 healthcare professionals who treat cardiovascular disease have registered for CardioCareLive programs, demonstrating the quality of content and unique interactive format of the program. “It’s clear to me that for busy cardiologists, internists and family physicians, attending a virtual CME program at CardioCareLive is an efficient and effective way to stay current on the latest treatment protocols,” said Dr. Clyde Yancy. “I am pleased to join CardioCareLive as a co-chair and to help extend these quality educational programs to practitioners worldwide.”

In a February 2012 survey, 86% of attendees stated that educational programming at CardioCareLive had a positive impact on their practice and nearly two thirds of respondents viewed three or more sessions at CardioCareLive. One program attendee shared, “CardioCareLive promotes evidence-based practices. It gives credence to what I promote to nursing care and to the level of expertise I bring to all clinical dialogue within the health care team.”

There is no charge to register and view any video session at CardioCareLive. Live programming provides attendees with the additional opportunity to get questions answered by leading cardiologists. Programming is also conveniently available on demand, anytime.
