What will I learn?

Improve your heart doctor (cardiology) skills with our Heart Doctor (Surgeon) Training, made for professionals who want to be experts in changing the main valve in the heart (aortic valve replacement). You'll learn how to handle problems during and after surgery, find out about ways to do surgery that don't involve big cuts (minimally invasive techniques), and understand the differences between using artificial valves that last a long time (mechanical) and ones made from living things (biological). You'll also get knowledge about how to care for patients after surgery, checking on them, and making good decisions. This short but helpful training gives you the skills you need to plan surgeries well and take care of patients for a long time. Register now to make your career better.
