PRE-CONFERENCE

ACC Leadership Development Program

  • The American College of Cardiology’s Leadership Development Program offers a half-day intensive workshop that addresses various skills and knowledge in cardiovascular leadership. The program design provides you with a broad understanding of leadership styles and skills. This program addresses diverse perspectives on critical leadership challenges while also providing an awareness of concepts and techniques relevant to leading effectively within one’s own healthcare institution. The ACC often draws upon those who complete this program for future leadership roles within the College.

 

  • Led by Ed Frye, ACC President, this interactive program provides attendees with insight into their country’s healthcare and leadership challenges. The program serves as a platform for emerging leaders in the cardiovascular community to gain a deeper understanding of the varied challenges facing the College’s ever-growing international community. By connecting these emerging leaders, the program facilitates the building of professional relationships and creates new opportunities for collaboration that defy geographical distance.

This program will be held as a pre-conference opportunity on Thursday, October 6 from 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm.

In-Training Fellow Exam

  • The ACC In-Training Exam features over 140 case-based questions and is an opportunity for Fellows and practicing physicians to take an objective assessment of their cardiology knowledge. The exam allows participants to identify knowledge gaps that may require further learning and provides final reports on scores related to specific cardiology topic areas such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease and heart failure, as well as a study guide.

This program will be held as a pre-conference opportunity on Thursday, October 6 from 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm.
