Most cardiology practices don't have time to train APPs properly. It's not their fault.

You got the job. Congratulations.

Now you're standing in a busy cardiology practice wondering why your training didn't prepare you for this. The cardiologists are swamped. Your orientation was a week of following someone around. And you're supposed to start seeing patients on your own... when, exactly?

Here's the uncomfortable truth: specialty practice is busy. There's rarely time or resources for proper onboarding. You're expected to figure it out. Some APPs thrive anyway. Many struggle quietly. A few leave cardiology entirely.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Learning That Sticks

Durable learning isn't a buzzword—it's the difference between cramming for a test and actually changing how you practice. Every lecture, every clinical pearl, every assessment is designed to stick. Ask any APP who's trained with Doctor Professor Nurse Logan. They're still quoting him years later.

The Curriculum Your Practice Would Build (If They Had the Time)

This isn't random cardiology content scraped from the internet. The 26-lesson curriculum maps directly to the ACC's competency framework for cardiovascular APPs. It's the structured onboarding your practice wants you to have but doesn't have bandwidth to create.

Years later, I still hear Paul's voice remind me that septic shock is characterized by MASSIVE vasodilation.

Beta blockers are cuddly drugs. Antiarrhythmics are NOT cuddly drugs. And amiodarone is both.

10,000 years ago when your biggest chance of dying was getting eaten by a sabertooth tiger, aldosterone was a lifesaver. Today, when heart failure is how you'll die, aldosterone is a killer.

And you'll stop lying awake wondering if you missed something.

The Practice Gains Manpower and Skill

Practices hire APPs to extend capacity, not to create more work for supervising physicians. But undertrained APPs need more oversight, need more support, and take longer to become independent. APP Cardiology Academy accelerates that timeline. New hires get structured training without pulling the cardiologists away from patients. Faster ramp-up. Less hand-holding. Better retention. Because APPs who feel competent and supported don't leave.

Patients Are Happier and Healthier

Your patients didn't choose to have heart disease. They're scared, they're confused, and they're trusting you to know what you're doing. When you can explain their echo results in plain language, answer their medication questions without hesitating, and catch the thing that needs catching—that's not just good medicine, that's the care they deserve. Better training makes better providers. Better providers produce better outcomes.

What You'll Be Able to Do

Perform a systematic cardiovascular assessment using the Proctor Harvey 5-fingered approach
Describe a murmur accurately—location, radiation, timing, quality—not just "2/6 systolic"
Recognize ECG patterns that matter: ischemia, chamber enlargement, conduction abnormalities
Estimate JVP at the bedside and know what it means for volume status
Risk-stratify chest pain, syncope, and palpitations without second-guessing yourself
Titrate guideline-directed heart failure therapy with confidence
Know when to call for help—and what to do while you're waiting

The Bottom Line

You'll stop second guessing yourself and researching every sign, symptom, and treatment plan between patients. You'll stop hoping you're not missing something. You'll gain the confidence to walk into the room, assess the patient, and know what to do next.
