Course Description
An essential second step in obtaining your Fellowship in Clinical Cardiology, this course, designed by leading cardiologists, will make you clinically competent to manage the common cardiological conditions of hypertension, stable ischemic heart disease, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, and arrhythmias. The multiple case presentations, lectures, and interactive elements presented throughout the course permit an active learning framework. Additionally, this course will teach you resuscitation skills including basic and advanced life support.
Learning complex medical concepts in the traditional didactic textbook and lecture format can be alienating for students. It prevents the opportunity to apply this knowledge clinically.
Advanced Certificate in Clinical Cardiology incorporates a Case-Based Learning Approach within the Medvarsity Learning Framework to address this gap in medical education. With this unique methodology, students consume relevant medical content while learning concepts through interactive case studies spread throughout the course. Thus, students are provided with relevant specialty-specific cases and a clear structure for precise diagnosis and customized treatment plans on a case-to-case basis.
Additionally, we’ve partnered with McGraw Hill to ensure that the students are exposed to relevant and credible content with the latest advances in the course specialty through a variety of case studies, books, videos, and other learning materials. This is the future of online education, especially for healthcare professionals.
This course is Accredited by the Indian Association of Clinical Cardiologists (IACC) and AHERF, and our current alumni work at hospitals like Apollo, Medanta, Billroth Hospitals, and Columbia Asia Hospitals.
We at Medvarsity strive to equip every physician with the ability to fast-track their career and enable them to better serve the communities in which they practice. Join us, and let us impact healthcare through education.
