Mission Statement

The mission of The New York Cardiological Society, Inc., founded in 1928, is to provide Continuing Medical Education in the cardiological specialties for the State of New York. Programs include lectures, seminars, workshops and other presentations focused upon topics of broad appeal with direct clinical application to an expanded audience composed of physicians in primary care, geriatrics, pediatrics and family practitioners, in addition to cardiovascular specialists. In addition the Society encourages, wherever appropriate, other health professionals to participate in its educational programs. Objectives and outcomes of these programs include expanded medical knowledge of cardiovascular care, support of advances in cardiovascular care, increased availability of cardiovascular care and positive changes in the competence and performance of physicians who participate in the programs; all contributing to the improved quality of care available to patients and positive patient outcomes.

To accomplish this goal, the Society shall:

• Survey developments in the medical sciences to identify those particularly relevant to cardiovascular diseases as a basis for educational programs provided by the Society for the afore mentioned community, emphasizing advances in medical science and practice.
• Create a forum for the discussion of both philosophical and pragmatic issues related to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
• Solicit input from participants in the development of educational programs.

It shall be the policy of The New York Cardiological Society, Inc. that all Continuing Medical Education programs be accessible at reasonable or no cost to all participants, both members and nonmembers.
