"This is Cardiology": Bridging Research and Practice Through Interactive Learning

May 23, 2025 from 2:40pm EDT to 3:35pm EDT

This dynamic session will connect the latest research findings with real-world clinical practice, highlighting critical updates in treatment guidelines, pharmacology, and emerging study results. The purpose of this workshop is to engage attendees in a Jeopardy-style game show where we will explore a broad spectrum of contemporary cardiac care topics. Three contestants will test their knowledge across key areas such as ECG interpretation (“Is that a STEMI?”), heart failure management (“Broken Heart Club”), arrhythmia and pacer management (“Let the Beat Drop”), and cutting-edge topics like amyloidosis (“Are You a Wild Type?”) and advanced hemodynamics (“Need More Data”). The audience will be engaged as rather than Daily Doubles, we will have Open Mic Night, where the answer will be posed to the audience. The person who responds correctly will then select who the points go to.

With each Jeopardy category tailored to reflect everyday cardiac nursing scenarios, attendees and contestants will gain insights that bridge hospital care, community health, and home-based cardiac management. Following this workshop, attendees and contestants will be able to walk through the process of assessment, testing, diagnosis, and treatment options to apply knowledge which supports the integration of theoretical knowledge into clinical practice. Jeopardy will offer something for everyone, and the workshops interactive, competitive, and fun mode will support attendance, interaction, and team building among conference attendees while promoting knowledge exchange and critical thinking.
