1 OVERVIEW FINAL OUTCOMES REPORT The annual Endovascular Advances: A Hands On Preceptorship Program is a continuing medical education series designed to provide physicians with hands on training in all aspects of managing peripheral, arterial, and venous disease, including diagnosis and treatment. Approved attendees were trained during 1 of 16 two day programs under the direct supervision of faculty at each participating program site. Attendees gained exposure to procedures for atherectomy, AV access, crossing strategies, CTO, and stent placement. This report encompasses outcomes for the year 2017, continuing into the first quarter of Total Activities: 16 Certified by the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL) for up to 16.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits (amount of credit varied by site) Supported by an educational grant from Boston Scientific Corporation (Grant ID: CV_24160_0809) Total Participants: 35 CME/CE Certificates Generated: 20 ACTIVITIES Date Faculty Hospital Location # of Credits March John Ross, MD Regional Medical Orangeburg, SC 16 March Jim Joye, DO Silicon Valley Mountain View, CA 15.5 Interventional March Michael Silva, MD The University of Galveston, TX 15 Texas medical Branch (UTMB) April Steve Henao, MD Heart Hospital of Albuquerque, NM 16.5 New Mexico at Lovelace Medical May 2 3 John Ross, MD Regional Medical Orangeburg, SC 16 May 8 9 John Ross, MD Regional Medical Orangeburg, SC 16 May Rajesh Dave, MD Holy Spirit Hospital Camp Hill, PA 12 June John Ross, MD Regional Medical Orangeburg, SC 16 June Steve Henao, MD Heart Hospital of Albuquerque, NM 16.5 New Mexico at Lovelace Medical August Steve Henao, MD Heart Hospital of New Mexico at Albuquerque, NM 16.5
