WASHINGTON, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) is a leading provider of education and professional development resources for clinicians treating patients with heart failure in the United States. To support these clinicians as they apply for initial Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology (AHFTC) certification or re-certification with the America Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), HFSA will host its AHFTC Board Certification Review July 12-14 in Chicago, Illinois at Loews Chicago O'Hare.

The HFSA AHFTC Board Certification Review features 2.5 days of lectures, discussions and Q&As, with educational content built on the ABIM AHFTC certification exam blueprint and serving as an in-depth review of the key concepts, guidelines, and clinical practices outlined in the exam. Participants can earn up to 24.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Several additional resources will provide participants with a toolbox they can use to study right up until test time.

Participants of the HFSA AHFTC Board Certification Review will receive these takeaway tools and resources:

• Significant facetime with a faculty of over 20 heart failure experts, including lunchtime discussions
• Online Question Bank, with questions formatted in ABIM-style
