About the Foundation and the ACCN
The Marriott Heart Foundation Provides
Medical Education Programs for Physicians, and has been joined by
the ACCN to provide Cardiovascular Nursing, and Technical Education
to all Levels of Cardiovascular Professionals.
Our goal is to continue developing CVN Fellowship Programs in major
hospitals to prepare cardiac nurses for Board Certification and to
offer the required CE credits for recertification. The ACCN
made the decision to go forward with this development last year and
have initiated our first Fellowship Program in Chicago, IL.
These programs are similar to the Cardiology Fellowship Programs for
Physicians, only they were developed specifically for a multi-level
practice in cardiac nursing.
