Nuclear Cardiology Now: Middle East

At Nuclear Cardiology Now: Middle East, May 20-21 globally recognized faculty shared the latest information in nuclear cardiology to help improve PatientFirst care through evidence-based treatment options for patients with suspected cardiovascular disease.

The program included contemporary didactic lectures, case-based learning, and in-depth panel discussions all designed to enhance your skills and knowledge with the common goal of improving patient-centered care and outcomes.

Participants can earn up to 16 CME accredited by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialists.
