Tall Rounds Can Meet Your CME Needs While Social Distancing

With live CME programs being cancelled at every turn in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, sources for engaging, high-quality online CME are more important than ever. That’s why there couldn’t be a better time to launch CME certification for the popular Tall Rounds® online video educational series from Cleveland Clinic’s Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute.

All Tall Rounds sessions from the beginning of 2020 onward are now offered with complimentary CME credit for all physicians who complete a session and wish to claim credit. “When viewers are on a session’s program page online, they can just click a link to the website of Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Continuing Education to log in and claim their credit,” explains Katie Breznai, program manager for Tall Rounds.

“We launched Tall Rounds about five years ago as a fresh take on continuing education in cardiovascular and thoracic disease,” says Cleveland Clinic cardiothoracic surgeon Eric Roselli, MD, who serves as activity director for the series. “The idea was to devote an hour to exploring a focused clinical topic from a range of subspecialty perspectives via five- to seven-minute presentations by subspecialists from their particular area of expertise. Every session starts with a real-world case and concludes with a Q&A and discussion where everyone weighs in on key takeaways for practice. The result is a fast-paced and interdisciplinary take where virtually everyone learns something new.”

The hourlong sessions are offered approximately twice a month. As of late April, six CME-certified sessions are available at clevelandclinic.org/tallrounds:

• COVID-19: Early Insights into Cardiovascular Issues
• Getting to the Root of Thoracic Aneurysms
• ECMO in the Adult Patient
• Post-Fontan Palliation Management Strategies
• New Devices, Old Problems: Managing Complicated Arterial Access
• Pericardial Diseases: A New Renaissance in Imaging and Treatment

Upcoming sessions will cover the following topics (among others):

• Early insights into venous and arterial thrombosis in the setting of COVID-19
• COVID-19-related considerations around recognition and management of myocarditis
• Diets and heart health
• Tailoring options for patients with infrainguinal vascular disease
