ACC Cardiovascular Summit Equips CV Team to Transform Care, Address Emerging Trends

January 25, 2024 — The American College of Cardiology’s Cardiovascular Summit (CV Summit) will take place on February 1-3 in Washington, DC. Bringing together all members of the CV team, the educational event highlights best practices for creating a more efficient, effective and equitable health care system. 

As health care systems continue to evolve, CV teams must be equipped to address these emerging trends and changes in operations, economics and the workforce. This year’s CV Summit will feature an array of educational sessions for clinicians, administrators and executives that encompass a multitude of practice models. Participants will learn how to distinguish between innovative strategies and emerging trends in CV care, assess operational efficiencies to enhance the effectiveness of the CV service line, and adopt customizable approaches that support economic sustainability. 

"The Cardiovascular Summit is the ACC’s primary meeting focused solely on the non-clinical business skills of cardiology,” said Howard (Bo) Walpole, MD, MBA, FACC, ACC CV Summit course director. “This is our forum for discussing and teaching everything necessary for running an efficient private or academic practice while improving leadership and organizational skills.”
