The Boston
AF Symposium provides a
current review of new
information on the basic
pathophysiology of atrial
fibrillation and a detailed
analysis of the most recent
developments in the treatment
of atrial fibrillation. The
program emphasizes the
rapidly evolving new imaging
and mapping techniques,
antiarrhythmic drug therapy
and new nonpharmacological
therapies including pacing,
catheter ablation and
surgical techniques. The
scientific basis for,
clinical experience with and
limitations of these new
therapies will be explored.
In addition, debates as well
as faculty and audience
discussions on controversial
topics in the treatment of
atrial fibrillation will be
used to highlight the current
state of scientific knowledge
in areas of major practical
interest to
clinicians. Visit our
Website at www.afsymposium.com for more information
regarding the program.

Physician Burnout
|
Burnout is a syndrome defined by the 3 principal components of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished feelings of personal accomplishment. Unlike major depressive disorder, which pervades all aspects of a patient's life, burnout is a distinct work-related syndrome. Burnout is most likely to occur in jobs that require extensive care of other people.

Professional Nursing: A Lifetime Career Choice
|
There are more than two million registered nurses in the U.S.—the largest healthcare occupation. Yet, there is a severe shortage of registered nurses (RNs). This means that RNs are in great demand. The American Hospital Association (AHA) states that 126,000 jobs are currently unfilled. The shortage is definitely a challenge for our health care system, but it is also a wonderful opportunity for young people who are looking for an exciting, challenging, and rewarding career.
