The American College of Cardiology is collaborating with Apollo Hospitals in India to provide the College's guideline-driven educational content to physicians participating in Apollo's Medvarsity e-learning program, India's first medical e-learning venture.
Medvarsity participants will have access to the ACC's valvular heart disease education module, which focuses on training healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and management of adult patients with valvular heart disease. This content exchange is the first in an ongoing bilateral exchange of professional health education content between the ACC and Apollo.
The American College of Cardiology is a 49,000-member medical society that is the professional home for the entire cardiovascular care team. The mission of the College is to transform cardiovascular care and to improve heart health. The ACC leads in the formation of health policy, standards and guidelines. The College operates national registries to measure and improve care, provides professional medical education, disseminates cardiovascular research and bestows credentials upon cardiovascular specialists who meet stringent qualifications.
