Welcome to the very first ACADEME eNewsletter, a regular update of news and events relevant to the ACADEME cardiovascular risk management initiative. ACADEME is an initiative that aims to offer health care professionals in primary care comprehensive and up-to-date educational opportunities in managing cardiovascular risk. Along with our colleagues on the steering committee, we have developed ACADEME as a multi-stranded initiative that encompasses primary care meetings, and a website offering news and educational opportunities via journal clubs and a growing series of patient case history-based educational modules. We hope you enjoy this ACADEME eNewsletter and make good use of all the resources that ACADEME has to offer. Click here to access the eNewsletter.
