The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) will be offering a Nuclear Cardiology Board Exam Preparation Course July 11-13 at the Intercontinental Hotel Chicago O’Hare in Rosemont, Ill. Physicians preparing for (re)certification in nuclear cardiology, or physicians interested in a broad review in nuclear cardiology topics are encouraged to attend.
The goal of this board review course is to prepare participants for the certification and re-certification exam in nuclear cardiology. The program will increase attendees’ knowledge and competence to treat patients with the appropriate cardiac nuclear imaging procedures. This educational event is designed for physicians preparing for the certification or re-certification exam in nuclear cardiology, as well as physicians interested in a broad review in nuclear cardiology topics.
