Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Workshop

April 16-19, 2012

AACVPR and the La Crosse Exercise and Health Program at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse (UWL) are joining together to offer a Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation workshop. This workshop is considered essential for anyone who is new to cardiac rehabilitation or who needs an up-to-date refresher on current trends in the field.

For many years, AACVPR members have voiced the need for a workshop that covers the core components involved in setting up and running a successful cardiac rehabilitation program. Rather than “reinventing the wheel”, AACVPR has partnered with UWL to fill this void. The La Crosse Exercise and Health Program has offered continuing education workshops for the past 37 years and has had professionals from all 50 states and 38 foreign countries attend one of their workshops. 

This Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Workshop will not only focus on the basics, but will provide an up-to-date overview of the theory and practice of inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. There will be a strong emphasis on exercise physiology, exercise prescription, administrative concerns, and secondary prevention strategies. 

According to John Porcari, PhD, Executive Director of the La Crosse Exercise and Health Program, and a Past-President of AACVPR, “One thing that makes this workshop special is that all of the speakers are actively working in the field, are involved in the national association or their state society, and are very willing to share their expertise with workshop participants.”
