The Functional Cardiology Mini-Residency

Meet the Faculty

Before you enroll, watch them teach. Three full sessions with real patient cases, advanced diagnostics, and what functional cardiology actually looks like inside a working primary care practice.

Next cohort begins September 18, 2026

Live Case Review with Dr. Giovanni Campanile

Real patient cases worked through end to end — ApoB and remnant cholesterol, advanced imaging, oxidative stress markers, and the reasoning behind each treatment decision.

Applying It in Primary Care

Dr. Cheng Her on the practical side — where this fits in a fifteen-minute visit, what to order first, and how to bring patients along.

Functional Cardiology for the Primary Care Practitioner
