Register for this event
Course Overview
This 1-day annual conference hosted by the UBC Division of Cardiology will provide an update on key aspects of management of cardiovascular disease, with an emphasis on what’s new in the field relevant to the care of patients with cardiovascular disease. This annual update has had consistent high reviews from attendees for its high quality, unbiased, comprehensive program.
Target Audience
General Internists, Specialists, Family Physicians.
This year our annual conference will run concurrently with the 14th Annual UBC Respiratory Medicine Update. Please note that there are two registration forms available. Register for the conference you plan to attend primarily and then feel free to move between plenary sessions and workshops during the day!
Please note that most of the morning session times match up so you are welcome to attend either one of the sessions. Please do not interrupt sessions where times do not match up.
Delegates from either conference are welcome to attend any plenary sessions from both sessions as they will be run in side by side ballrooms. We prefer if you stayed in your main registered conference for the concurrent sessions and workshops though.
