Cardiac Care Team 


Cardiac Care Associates play a critical role in both hospital and private practice. ACC.09 and i2 Summit 2009 offer a wealth of opportunities to strengthen clinical and leadership skills while learning alongside other members of the cardiac care team. You’ll have the opportunity to see more, do more and learn more with the most innovative information in the world of clinical cardiology.

Come to Orlando and learn from the best clinicians in the world. Choose from a wide array of educational sessions, guided only by your personal interests and plans for the future. Not only are there two Cardiac Care Team Spotlight sessions tailored just for Cardiac Care Associates (CCAs), there are a wide range of additional Spotlight sessions, symposia, Meet the Experts sessions, lunchtime case reviews, abstract presentations and poster sessions — all with programming of interest to CCAs.

Ground your learning in the fundamentals, then explore the latest in diagnosis and therapy. You’ll find breaking news on scientific advances and new technology, as well as practical approaches to common clinical problems. Listen to debates on the controversies of the day, then cast your vote for the winner. Put your iPod to work sharpening your skills in cardiac auscultation. Try new procedures using hands-on simulated learning techniques.

ACC.09 and i2 Summit 2009 focus on you and your professional development. Expand your personal network by getting to know fellow CCAs from across the country. Share your experiences with your peers and gain practical skills you’ll use in clinic every day. Tailor each day to your individual needs. Concentrate on one clinical area or sample from an unprecedented array of educational and networking opportunities. Either way, you’ll come away with new skills and new insight into your future.

Throughout ACC.09 and i2 Summit, the focus is on knowledge, breakthroughs and outcomes — and you can have it all! All cardiology, all in one place!
