About the

Conference

Welcome

The Georgia Chapter of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) would like to invite you to attend the 2016

Cardiovascular Update. This meeting reflects our dedication to reducing cardiovascular risk and improving patient outcomes. Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physician Assistants, and Clinical Pharmacists should participate in order to enhance their knowledge, improve assessment skills, and network with colleagues. At this meeting, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the latest research and clinical guideline updates in cardiovascular medicine and apply this information to your own clinical practice.
