The healthcare sector is large producer of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution and we urgently need evidence-driven solutions to address the resulting health impacts of health system functioning. LCA literacy and competency is crucial in developing the evidence base to guide solutions in reducing the healthcare industry’s carbon footprint and is essential for anyone considering a career in sustainability, as LCA can be a valuable tool in managing the performance of a health organization. This course will provide an introduction into the use of life cycle assessment in the healthcare sector and will provide mentorship for participants to perform their own desired LCA study through the duration of the course. In this course, you will learn: First round: Fundamentals of LCA according to ISO 14040 standards How to define LCA’s Use of SimaPro software and databases required to complete an LCA Process mapping and material flow assessment Data collection and practice with creating assumptions Study design advantages and pitfalls Break: During this time, you will work with your team (or individually, if you do not have team members) to access and assimilate the needed data identified during the first two days of the training to complete your LCA. Each team will have one more check-in meeting with program faculty and staff to assist with troubleshooting and other logistics. Second round: Data synthesis and analysis Sensitivity and certainty analyses Drafting LCA reports and other dissemination strategies Identify best practices for interpreting and sharing LCA results This training is designed for any individuals or teams (2-5 individuals) interested in health care sustainability who have an LCA idea in the healthcare space. Professionals at all career stages are welcome to attend, and we encourage trainees and early-stage investigators to participate. To register for this training, you must have: Basic familiarity with excel or similar data management software. Basic descriptive statistics experience (e.g. computing averages, standard deviations). Access to a working laptop or tablet with video and audio capabilities.   Subscribe for updates on new LCA Boot Camp details or registration deadlines. Capacity is limited. Paid registration is required to attend.

Program Overview
 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE This program addresses both common and uncommon challenges in hypertension that medical practitioners face in an ACCME accredited course. Video Access Following the program, all registrants will have access to lecture video recordings for ONE month. Learning Objectives Identify key mechanisms in the development of hypertension, including vascular, renal and neurohormonal pathways. Recognize complications associated with delayed or inadequate treatment of severe hypertension.  Examine the unique considerations for diagnosing and managing hypertension in older adults.  Discuss the clinical implications and limitations of wearable BP monitors in hypertension management.  Develop patient-centered plans incorporating dietary, exercise, and stress-reduction strategies.  Describe the different classes of diuretics and their mechanisms of action Describe emerging therapeutic modalities for hypertension, including siRNAs, aldosterone synthase inhibitors, and catheter-based renal denervation.     Joint Accreditation Statement In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Amedco LLC and Columbia University.
