Best of ACC Program Provides High-Quality Education to Physicians Around the Globe

In early May 2019, ACC's International Affairs team and Sun Pharma partnered to bring the Best of ACC educational program to more than 1,100 physicians in four cities, including a first-ever live program in Yangon, Myanmar; an interactive webinar in Nairobi, Kenya; and additional sessions in Chennai, India and Kathmandu, Nepal. ACC's faculty included Keith C. Ferdinand MD, FACC; Biykem Bozkurt MD, PhD, FACC; Puja K. Mehta, MD, FACC; and Brian O'Murchu, MD, FACC. Program topics included hypertension, heart failure, lipid management and acute coronary syndrome, with each faculty presenting real-world, guideline-based sessions. The ambitious Best of ACC program also showcased interactive quizzes and case-based clinical focus sessions breaking down the hottest trials from ACC.19. These engaging educational activities challenged clinical and critical thinking skills, while also integrating clinical evidence and established guidelines to aid in providing the best care to patients.
