ACC CV Summit Virtual to offer education on managing rapid change, transforming cardiovascular care

The American College of Cardiology’s Cardiovascular Summit Virtual (CV Summit) will feature two days of live content on Feb. 12-13, 2021, including the Leadership Forum keynote speech delivered by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Anthony S. Fauci, MD.

Course director Bo Walpole, MD, FACC, and course co-directors Geoffrey Rose, MD, FACC, and Cathleen Biga, MSN, FACC, have invited leaders from across private, integrated and academic practices to create a course intended for all cardiovascular practices and the entire cardiovascular care team.
