5th Annual Adult Congenital Heart (ACH) Symposium

Target Audience:
Cardiovascular RNs and APRNs will benefit from this course.

Description:
For the first time in history patients born with congenital heart disease are surviving and even thriving in adulthood, many with a normal life expectancy. As a relatively new patient population, many individuals are lost in the system as they transition from pediatrics to an adult physician. Recognizing this challenge, Houston Methodist DeBakey Institute of Cardiovascular Education & Training will be holding it's fourth annual Adult Congenital Heart (ACH) Symposium. This popular annual event is a unique opportunity for patients, family, caregivers and their physicians to learn more about care and treatment options from leading ACH experts.

Learning Objectives:
The Patient and Family Celebration lasts approximately four hours and includes:
• Lessons and tips from adult congenital heart experts
• Hands-on training and demonstrations
• CPR class
• Health screenings
• Social hour with ice cream, photo booth and more

Upon completion of the Healthcare Professionals Course with CME credit, the participant should be able to:
• Describe the basic anatomy changes in common adult congenital heart issues
• Describe when to intervene and when to refer congenital heart conditions
• Understand important measures for maintenance and preventive care in adult congenital heart disease
• Identify the early signs of a congenital issue

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
