Interdisciplinary Management of Cardiopulmonary Health and Disease - Cardiac Focus (edX)

This course will equip you with the knowledge relevant to cardiac diseases and broaden your understanding on the patient’s journey in healthcare from a holistic perspective – starting from symptoms emerge to the disease diagnosis and assessment, and finally, disease management in an interdisciplinary approach.
