Mayo Clinic is committed to taking care of our learners and staff as we address the COVID-19 situation. In order to help protect our communities, and out of an abundance of caution, the School of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is suspending live courses and conferences through December 31, 2020.

At this time, CPD suggests suspending or changing delivery method for Regularly Scheduled Series (RSS) with more than 10 in-person attendees. See individual RSS sessions for any changes to dates, times and delivery methods.

DESCRIPTION
This series occurs weekly on Mondays 7:30 - 8:15 a.m. in Gonda 5-104 unless otherwise noted in the session. The conference is telecast to regional sites (Mankato, MN and La Crosse, WI) for viewing by cardiovascular practitioners in the Mayo Clinic Health System. Visit the online series if you wish to participate by watching a pre-recorded session instead.

This is a weekly 45 minute conference which focuses on topics pertinent to the ongoing clinical practice of cardiovascular disease, continuing education, quality assurance, and research.
