Are you a FIT or EC professional? A more seasoned cardiovascular professional? No matter the years of practice, ACC's Cardiovascular Summit taking place Feb. 14 – 16, 2019 in Orlando offers training across many nonclinical competencies with the goal of helping cardiovascular professionals survive and thrive in today's health care environment. Just-announced keynote speakers will offer innovative and diverse perspectives from both within and outside the health care world.

Looking for advice on how best to lead change? Tasha Eurich, PhD, a leading organizational psychologist, researcher, and New York Times best-selling author, will focus on "Leading Change: How Self-aware Leaders Thrive in an Uncertain World."

Meanwhile, Cheryl Pegus, MD, MPH, from NYU Langone Medical Center, will discuss how nontraditional stakeholders like payers, businesses and others can play critical roles in changing cardiovascular care, while Michael Chernew, PhD, from Harvard Medical School and a member of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, will provide insights into the economic forces at play in cardiovascular care.

With an increased focus on physician well-being as a key component of the Quadruple Aim, work-life balance is more than the latest buzzword. Jim McKenna, a leadership coach for physicians, will provide first-hand tips on how to find that balance for both yourself and your team.

Innovation is also at play when it comes to disseminating information and using technology to improve patient care and outcomes. Microsoft Chief Medical Officer and Senior Director of Worldwide Health Simon Kos, MBBS, Bsc (Med), MBA, will share his vision for the future.

Don't miss these and countless other opportunities to challenge your thinking, network with colleagues, and even more importantly learn from other practices, hospitals and health systems.
