Coronary and Peripheral Hands On/Observation Course

Return to Course Lobby

As part of Atrium’s continued commitment to providing first class education, Atrium Medical Corporation is proud to partner with Dr. Rajesh Dave, MD, FACC, FSCAI Ortenzio Heart Center at Holy Spirit Hospital. Camp Hill, Pennsylvania to provide a series of Hands-On Physician Trainings.

Dr. Rajesh Dave is the Chief Medical Executive at Holy Spirit Cardiovascular Institute and Director of Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, Ortenzio Heart Center at Holy Spirit Hospital. Dr. Dave and Holy Spirit Hospital have created an advanced training program in an effort to provide physicians with greater knowledge and understanding of various techniques in peripheral and coronary interventions.

Each training session lasts 2 days and is limited to an intimate group of 4 physicians per training. The training incorporates daily live cases combined with detailed discussions of various techniques that can be utilized in the treatment of each patient. The goal of the training is to educate each physician on the rationale behind the use of various techniques in peripheral and coronary interventions. Included within the program is clinical use of the ClearWay™ RX local therapeutic infusion catheter.

The training session offers both a hands-on experience and observation only options where qualified operators interact within the cath lab and are exposed to a series of complex cases.

Physicians attending these trainings must be licensed practicing physicians with malpractice insurance. If participating in Hands on activities, physicians will obtain a temporary Pennsylvania Medical License and obtain temporary privileges at Holy Spirit Hospital to take part in the training.

Atrium Medical provides technical information on the ClearWay™ RX product and its performance, but is not responsible for the content of the training program.
