2025 Annual Meeting: CME Credit InformationStatement of NeedThe core educational gaps in cardiovascular medicine include several pressing challenges. Clinicians often struggle to keep pace with evolving science and guidelines due to the rapid changes in evidence, trial data, and practice recommendations, resulting in variability in patient care. Many providers also face difficulties translating new therapies and guidelines into real-world practice, especially in complex, comorbid, or resource-limited populations. Additionally, cardiologists require more comprehensive training in multidisciplinary and emerging areas, such as cardio-obstetrics, cardio-oncology, genetics, and digital health, where resources and expertise are often limited. Finally, persistent disparities in cardiovascular outcomes, workforce pressures, and healthcare delivery barriers underscore the need for education that addresses equity, advocacy, and practical strategies to navigate system-level challenges. Overall GoalPhysicians and healthcare professionals are constantly adapting to new technology, new regulations and new laws all while providing the best care for their patients. This activity is designed to help healthcare professionals to overcome the frustration and fear that physicians have with these challenges.

Credit and Course Evaluation:Your feedback from this American College of Cardiology (ACC) educational course will help us to better target ACC educational initiatives and efforts to support you and your future learning needs. In order to receive your CME, CNE, CPE, PA, and/or MOC certificate or certificate of attendance, and to claim your MOC pointsyou must complete a brief evaluation survey online. This survey will be sent via email and will include a direct link to the survey. We strongly recommend that evaluations and credit claims be submitted within one month of the course, but you must complete them within three months of the course. ACC certifies each course only for the credit types for which the activity meets accreditor requirements. If your profession’s credit type is not listed for a given course, you may still claim a Certificate of Participation. This certificate includes the AMA Credit Designation Statement that many boards and professional organizations use to award equivalent credit upon learner submission. Once you complete the course evaluation, you will be able to generate either your profession’s designated certificate (if available) or a Certificate of Participation (COP). In both cases, you must use that certificate to self-report credit to your licensing or certifying body. Before enrolling in a course, you should confirm with your own licensing or certification board that they accept AMA credit as an equivalent credit towards your professional requirements. |
