Resident Resources: Cardiovascular Medicine is an interactive educational program for primary care resident physicians, developed by Thomas Jefferson University's AISR Education Services and BioScientific Resources, Inc. in 2001.
Designed to complement existing residency training programs, the CD-ROM features audio, video, text, graphics, animation, and links to relevant web resources.
The program uses a case-study approach and the content parallels the core educational guidelines established by the American Academy of Family Physicians for family practice residents.
To reflect the latest thinking and developments in cardiovascular care, a new edition of Resident Resources: Cardiovascular Medicine was completed this summer.
Highlights of the 2nd Edition include:
- New case study focusing on HRT and cardiovascular risk
- Recent research on the role C-Reactive Protein as a cardiac biomarker
- Updated definitions and guidelines from the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7)
- Discussion of new therapies for lipid management
Copies of the software are available for your review in the Scott Library Learning Resources Center.
