The Advanced Practice Provider Education Program is designed to provide advanced training and specialized knowledge in the field of electrophysiology for nurse practitioners and physician assistants. This program aims to equip advanced practice providers with the skills and expertise needed to effectively assess, diagnose, and manage patients with cardiac arrhythmias and related conditions.
Gain in-depth knowledge of the physiology of cardiac conduction systems and electrophysiological mechanisms underlying arrhythmias.
Learn to interpret ECGs, ambulatory monitoring, event recorders, and other diagnostic tests used in the evaluation of arrhythmias. Practice your skills with ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and CT interpretation.
Classify various types of arrhythmias (supraventricular, ventricular, atrial fibrillation, etc.) and develop skills for evidence-based management strategies.
Understand the pharmacological options available for arrhythmia management, including antiarrhythmic drugs and their indications, contraindications, and potential interactions.
Familiarize with catheter ablation techniques, including radiofrequency and cryoablation, as well as implantation of cardiac devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators.
Acquire skills in the assessment, programming, troubleshooting, and management of patients with implanted pacemakers and ICDs in an outpatient setting.
Learn to work collaboratively with cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and other healthcare professionals in the management of complex arrhythmia cases.
Stay updated with the latest advancements and research in the field of electrophysiology to provide the highest standard of care.
Develop effective communication skills to educate patients about their condition, treatment options, and lifestyle modifications.
Implement strategies to enhance patient safety and improve the quality of care provided in the electrophysiology setting and practice your skills with our library of interactive case studies.
