Continuing Medical Education at New York Valves 2025

New York Valves (NYV) 2025: The Structural Heart Summit brings together global leaders to deliver three days of cutting-edge education and multidisciplinary collaboration. The evolution of transcatheter therapies, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and emerging mitral and tricuspid interventions, has transformed the treatment landscape for patients with structural heart disease (SHD). Despite these advances, gaps persist in clinicians' ability to integrate the latest minimally invasive techniques, imaging modalities, and multidisciplinary strategies into routine practice. Addressing these gaps is essential to optimize patient outcomes and ensure healthcare professionals stay at the forefront of this rapidly advancing field.

The management of structural heart disease demands a multidisciplinary approach that integrates advanced cardiac imaging, innovative transcatheter therapies, surgical interventions, and heart failure management. New York Valves 2025 aims to bridge educational gaps by offering a comprehensive platform for healthcare professionals to explore the latest evidence-based practices, procedural techniques, and collaborative strategies critical for managing patients with SHD.
 

By the conclusion of New York Valves 2025, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate the clinical presentation and management strategies for patients with valvular and structural heart disease, incorporating patient-specific considerations and risk stratification.
• Analyze the strengths and limitations of various imaging modalities, including echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, for diagnosing and guiding the treatment of valvular and structural heart disease.
• Describe the current state-of-the-art and emerging therapeutic options for valvular and structural heart disease, emphasizing evidence-based and patient-centered care.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the technical skills and procedural considerations required to perform transcatheter valve therapies, left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure.
• Incorporate multidisciplinary approaches to optimize outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter and surgical structural heart interventions.

How do I earn ABIM MOC points?

CRF^® offers American Board of Internal Medicine Maintenance of Certification for select sessions, designed within the ABIM framework. During sessions offering MOC points, you must actively participate and complete the short session evaluation.

Who can claim ABIM MOC points?

Any appropriately badged meeting registrant can attend MOC-accredited sessions, but only ABIM diplomates are eligible to claim MOC points.

How do I claim ABIM MOC points?

Claim your points in the CRF^® CME portal. First, complete the online evaluation form for each session. Then you will need to enter your ABIM diplomate number, birth date, and state license number. Your MOC points will be registered and transferred to ABIM. You can claim your ABIM MOC points only once for each eligible session.

After submission, when will I see my MOC points in my ABIM physician portal?

It may take up to 72 hours for your MOC points to be posted. Also check to be sure that you entered your correct diplomate number, birthdate, and state license number. Incorrect entries will create a significant delay in processing your points.
