With the 62nd Annual Scientific Session & Expo quickly approaching, the program committee and ACC staff are busy putting together the final details on sessions, speakers and other meeting logistics. ACC.13 focuses on the transformation of cardiovascular care — from discovery to delivery and offers a variety of ways to advance knowledge and improve quality of care. Here are some of the things to look forward to at ACC.13:

1. Learn from the best of the best on how to integrate patient-centered care into everyday practice, including through full-day joint sessions with other cardiovascular medical specialty societies and a new in-depth integrated course in cardiology hosted by Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, MACC.
2. ACC’s meetings are known for presenting great science, and this meeting will not disappoint with the hottest science, latest technologies and clinical applications with topics like the latest in TAVR, therapies for non-valvular AFib, drug-eluting stents, and more.
3. There are expanded opportunities geared towards the next generation of cardiovascular professionals including networking opportunities with ACC leaders, sessions focused on career advancement, research publication and hands-on training.
4. In order to encourage a team-based approach to care, we have content available for the entire cardiac care team ranging from a full-day pharmacology program to our popular Cardiovascular Administrator track.
5. There are more international sessions than ever before, including an international lunchtime symposia with 22 cardiology societies from around the world.
6. There are 16 different learning pathways to choose from including the TCT@ACC-i2 Learning Pathway that features topics important to interventional cardiologists.
7. More than 300 companies and organizations will showcase the latest advances in pharmaceuticals, imaging, devices, health IT and more on the Expo floor.
8. You can earn up to 60 MOC points and can prepare for board certification at Core Curriculum and ABIM MOC Study Sessions.
