Our mission is to optimize patient care. To this end, our program is designed to provide the most up to date information and strategies for health care professionals, patients, and caregivers.
On Saturday, March 1, 2008, we convened our third annual "Proactive Thrombosis Prevention" Harvard Medical School CME accredited community event at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. This event was sponsored by the North American Thrombosis Forum (NATF).
This 1-day symposium is a comprehensive multidisciplinary overview of current thrombosis prevention methods geared to physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, hospitalists, and hospital administrators. In addition to health care professionals, patients and caregivers are encouraged to attend. The curriculum combines review of established principles with state-of-the-art changes and novel concepts in thrombosis prevention.
All course attendees received a comprehensive syllabus and CD ROM, which includes lecture outlines and up-to-date bibliographies.
