This interactive, evidence-based certificate program equips nurses with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to address the global burden of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and its comorbidities, including hypertension, stroke, and cardiometabolic conditions. Through a patient-centered approach, nurses will explore risk factors, prevention strategies, advanced assessments, and cutting-edge treatments, while also developing leadership, communication, and advocacy skills to drive better outcomes for patients, communities, and populations.
The program covers primary and secondary prevention, guideline-directed therapies, care coordination, and the role of nurses in clinical research, ensuring participants can apply best practices in real-world settings. With a focus on health equity, social determinants of health (SDOH), and interprofessional collaboration, this course prepares nurses to lead change, improve access to care, and champion diversity in clinical trials.
We are pleased to offer an updated certificate at no cost!
