CMHC Annual 2021 On Demand

The global epidemic of cardiometabolic disease demands the continual refinement of cardiometabolic care approaches and strategies. As the nation’s premier event in cardiometabolic medicine, the 16th Annual Cardiometabolic Health Congress
has been curated by the field’s leading experts to deliver to you the latest evidence-based interventions to improve health outcomes and quality of life for the growing numbers of patients at increased cardiometabolic risk.

This On Demand activity features recordings from this year's Pushing Boundaries in Cardiometabolic Health: Challenges and Controversies across four days of new late-breaking research, FDA updates, clinical insights, and more all delivered through an actionable lens.

There is a registration fee for this activity (if you were a live attendee please refer to the below note). Registration can be found here. Once registration is complete, you will receive a confirmation email with an access code and link back to this course.

If you attended the live meeting either live or virtually at the 2021 annual meeting, please reach out to info@cardiometabolichealth.org and we will provide you with complimentary access code to this activity.
