The Cardiovascular Spring Symposium is North Mississippi Medical Center's annual continuing medical education (CME) event dedicated to advancing cardiovascular knowledge and clinical practice. Each year, the symposium focuses on key areas within Cardiology and brings together physicians, advanced practice providers, and other providers who care for cardiac patients for an engaging, practice-focused educational experience.

Content typically centers on updating providers on new therapies and technologies and advancing management of conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, and valvular disease. Sessions also emphasize recognizing and responding to cardiovascular emergencies. With a strong focus on practical application, the symposium helps providers translate the latest research and guidelines into strategies that enhance patient-centered cardiovascular care. 

NMHS CME Program will award MOC credit for ABIM Medical Knowledge (Part II) for 2026 Spring Cardiovascular Symposium. Participants will earn 11.25 points in the Medical Knowledge Category.
