Needs Assessments
Preparation of the HFA certification examination.
The elaboration of this course and its content is based on surveying participants of previous HFA exams: 50% did not know how to prepare for the exam and 64% judged the exam too difficult. In addition, as new HF clinical trials have been recently published, the HFA needs to provide education tools for HF specialists.
