Upcoming Joslin Symposia
April 23–25, 2013
Seaport Hotel & World Trade Center
Boston, Massachusetts
This comprehensive Harvard Medical School CME activity will focus on care at the primary level for preventing, identifying, and managing cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome, including complications and comorbidities. The 2.5-day symposium will examine the components of the cardiometabolic syndrome, its many—sometimes surprising—related conditions, and clinical approaches to prevent and control them. The format will be interactive and immersive, offering cutting-edge basic and clinical science and evidence-based clinical care recommendations using virtual cases to emphasize practical applications. The goal is for participants to appreciate the spectrum of clinical implications that the cardiometabolic syndrome can bring with it and improve their clinical skills so they can address these abnormalities in a timely and effective manner
