This series is a case-based presentation including pathophysiology review, pharmacology review, presentation of evidence-based guidelines and review of diagnostic testing.

The Cath Lab Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) Conference is an integral component of the Cath Lab Quality Assessment and Improvement (QA/QI) program. The conference reviews cath lab complications and in-hospital events following invasive cardiovascular procedures by a formal phase of care (pre-procedure, intra-procedure, post-procedure) analysis to achieve consensus regarding preventability of event. The aim is quality improvement and the process is meant to be non-punitive. Cath Lab M&M is separat...

As part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society IMPACT Award, VICC is putting on quarterly educational webinars for providers with the topics focused on hematological malignancies. This 1-hour presentation will be given by a disease specialist from VICC and will include clinical data, new research on hematological malignancies, and updates on clinical trial availability.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation MMI is offered quarterly. Participants will engage in education on potential solutions for process errors that may include medical knowledge and skills and improving patient outcomes. A variety of topics from researchers in several disciplines from across the VU and VUMC institutions will be covered.

This is a twice yearly meeting intended to do quality improvement in myocardial perfusion imaging and to address ICANL criteria for accreditation as a nuclear cardiology laboratory. We review various nuclear cardiovascular cases and images to determine the overall sensitivity and specificity among our readers. We also review recent advances in nuclear cardiovascular imaging. Up to four cases in which variations from typical interpretation occurred are selected for discussion. Participants have ...

This conference provides education to participants through review of patient cases submitted by participants. The case review is guided by expert pulmonologists with a goal to prove the reviewed patient an accurate diagnosis of interstitial lung disease to guide evidence-based management. Education for participants include topics in chest radiology, lung pathology, and diagnosis and management of interstitial lung disease.

This journal club will present articles from the medical literature that concern prevention and management of orthopedic infections. Trainees from both Infectious Diseases and Orthopedic Surgery will alternate the responsibility of finding articles of interest to both groups and presenting their findings for discussion.

Pre-recorded PowerPoint-based education hosted by live specialists for questions/conversation. Each session will be provided at multiple times over the course of 1-2 weeks so all providers can attend at their convenience. This is a case-based conference that has clinically-based questions during the presentation and actively solicits participation from the audience for questions, discussions, comments.

Participants will engage in education to implement strategies to address opportunities for improvement aimed at reducing medical errors, complications, and sub-optimal outcomes. and improving patient outcomes. A variety of topics from researchers in several disciplines from across the VU and VUMC institutions will be covered.

The conference will present cases seen in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab from cardiology and radiology perspectives. Evidence-based approaches to the cases will be examined and discussed.
