Registration is open for the 2023 James H. Horner, MD Distinguished Visiting Professorship (DVP). Here is the link to the brochure. It will provide you with the finalized agenda and speakers.
Overview
James H. Horner was a medical student who died shortly before his expected graduation from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. His medical degree was awarded posthumously in June 1988. Dr. Horner’s family established this distinguished professorship in his name “to promote education, compassion, and academic excellence in the practice of medicine”. Join us as we welcome expert speakers who will discuss hypertension guidelines and treatment.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe the various guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension
- Identify the importance of lifestyle factors in managing and controlling hypertension
- Define the first, second, and subsequent line treatment options for patients with hypertension
Desired Outcome:
This lecture is designed to provide interactive educational activities that discuss complicated case scenarios that have been shown to improve participant application of evidence-based medicine for patients with hypertension. Providing a format for adult learning that includes lectures, case-based studies, interactive question and answer sessions, collaborative sharing of patient care issues, and networking with other healthcare professionals has shown to improve participant knowledge and competency.
