Pacemaker Implantation for the Cardiologist Course Description: An advanced electrophysiology program featuring didactic and proctored hands on cases. Students will learn how to successfully identify appropriate patients for pacemaker therapy and gain experience with the insertion, management, and follow-up of pacemakers. Satisfactory completion results in a certificate of cases to be applied to the case requirements of the ACC/HRS. Students will receive protocols, equipment lists, and physician dictation of cases included during course. Course Length: Three day course Enrollment: 2 student maximum per course Faculty: Gregory Jones, MD, FACC Target Audience: Cardiologists seeking to acquire pacemaker implantation skills and improve patient management. Location: Cardiovascular Associates & Holston Valley Medical Center Tuition: $5,000 ICD Implantation for the Non-Electrophysiology Cardiologist or Surgeon Course Description: An advanced electrophysiology program featuring didactic and proctored hands on cases. Students will learn how to successfully identify appropriate patients for ICD therapy, how to implant ICD devices, and understand basic techniques for interrogation, programming, and surveillance of ICDs. Didactic content on patient selection, preparation, post implant recovery, and patient education will be provided. Cases will count toward competency requirements of the ACC/HRS. Students will receive protocols, equipment lists, and physician dictation of cases included during course. Course Length: Three day course Enrollment: 2 student maximum per course Faculty: Gregory Jones, MD, FACC or Arun Rao, MD, FACC Target Audience: Foreign national cardiologists and surgeons seeking to acquire ICD implantation skills and improve patient management. Location: Cardiovascular Associates & Holston Valley Medical Center Tuition: $5,000 Advanced Atrial Fibrillation Program Course Description: An advanced electrophysiology program featuring didactic and proctored hands on cases.
