We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Michael Kontos for his invaluable contribution as a guest speaker at our Summer 2024 Quarterly Meeting. Dr. Kontos shared profound insights from his extensive research and clinical experience, enriching our understanding with current developments in cardiology.
Dr. Kontos's presentation on recent trials and their implications in clinical practice provided us with a deeper appreciation for the complexities of cardiology and the importance of ongoing research. His expertise not only added significant value to our discussions but also inspired us to think critically about applying these new findings to enhance patient care.

Introducing Our New Resource Library: A Hub for Growth and Learning
We are thrilled to unveil the VCSQI Shared Resource Portal, a dynamic online platform dedicated to advancing cardiovascular care through collaborative knowledge sharing. This portal is designed to support our community's ongoing learning and improved patient outcomes.
The Vision Behind the Shared Resource Portal
The idea for the Shared Resource Portal was developed during our Summer Quarterly Meeting, reflecting our commitment to leveraging collective wisdom to improve patient outcomes. Recognizing the rapid advancements in cardiovascular care, the portal facilitates easy access to share and view a wealth of information and tools, enhancing practice.
Encouraging Member Contributions
The effectiveness of the Shared Resource Portal is dependent on the active involvement of our members. We encourage you to contribute your expertise and resources, which not only aids others but also improves the quality of patient care across the board. Your contributions will help maintain the portal as a lively and current resource. Please note, submitted resources are exclusively available to members of the VCSQI site.
