Abbott Launches Institute Focused on Improving Care for Patients with Cardiac and Vascular Disease
The Crossroads Institute, a medical education initiative from Abbott Vascular, offers physicians more than 70 courses on cardiac and vascular treatment, with 50 of the courses accredited for continuing medical education. The Institute features a teaching faculty of more than 100 worldwide experts providing patient-focused training on the latest subjects and techniques in cardiac and vascular care.
Featuring discussion forums with physician experts, the Crossroads Institute offers high-touch teaching methodologies with virtual simulators and a virtual in-house catheterization lab to help physicians learn the latest in cardiac and vascular treatment methodologies. The goal is for professionals to return to their practice equipped with new techniques, practical skills, experience and clinical insights.
Formerly the Guidant Institute of Therapy Advancement, Abbott announced the newly-named Crossroads Institute in May. The Crossroads Institute for cardiac and vascular medical education is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, with established facilities in Tokyo, Japan, and Joannesburg, South Africa.
