This program will be focused on the heart team approach for creating and growing an arrhythmia treatment program and managing post-operative pain. The education and discussions at this program are more impactful when healthcare providers (HCPs) attend as a team (cardiac surgeon, electrophysiologist (EP), general cardiologist, advanced practice provider (APP), nurse navigator or other complimentary members of your heart team).
