How to Start a Cardio-Obstetrics Program
Webinar Overview
Learn practical, step-by-step strategies for building a multidisciplinary cardio-obstetrics program at your institution from leaders in the field.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the U.S., and many of these deaths are considered preventable. Cardio-obstetrics programs bring together cardiology, maternal-fetal medicine, obstetric anesthesia and allied specialties to provide coordinated care before, during and after pregnancy. These programs have become an essential part of improving maternal cardiovascular outcomes, yet many clinicians, particularly those early in their careers, are unsure how to turn interest in this field into a sustainable program. Learn more about starting a cardio-obstetrics program in this webinar hosted by ACC's Early Career Professionals Member Section.
