Hot Topics in Primary Care
Coming Soon: Hot Topics in Primary Care 2024!
The Cardio-Renal-Metabolic/Endocrine Assembly (CaRMA) is over for 2024, and we are already planning for CaRMA 2025. One of the sessions is now available for your CME viewing HERE, "Best Practices in Managing Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Disease."
CaRMA is a two-day virtual event designed to deliver the latest clinical updates, advancements, and best practices in cardiovascular, renal, metabolic, and endocrine disease management to an audience of US-based NPs and PAs and other clinicians with an interest in these disease states.
CaRMA fills an educational gap for NPs and PAs created by the unprecedented and sudden discontinuation of the metabolic and endocrine disease summit (MEDS) previously offered to NPs and PAs in the US, attracting thousands of participants for 13 years.
Attendees who participate in CaRMA on the virtual platform will almost feel like they are at a conference in-person; the platform will have main entrance, a large lobby, supporter booths, networking sessions, and rooms dedicated to educational sessions. Participants will feel as if they are “moving” through the platform to explore different activities. PCEC hosts several virtual Summits each year, with average ratings of 4.8 out of a possible 5.
Registration will begin again May 1, 2025. Visit www.carmalive.com for more details!

Our newest partner: Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association
The Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association is the leading nursing organization dedicated to preventing and managing cardiovascular disease.
PCNA's members are nurses and nurse practitioners that assess risk, facilitate lifestyle changes, and guide individuals to achieve treatment goals at clinics, hospitals and universities across the country.
The current state of health care demands that nurses and advanced practice nurses play a leading role in identifying and implementing cardiovascular risk reduction strategies. PCNA is committed to supporting nurses so they may successfully rise to this challenge, through the development of professional and patient education, leadership, and advocacy.
