The Clinical Reasoning Series is designed to provide the advanced practitioner with cutting-edge scientific and clinical evidence and contemporary strategies for the provision of patient care. The spectrum of topics covered in the Clinical Reasoning Series symposium sessions helps inform individual patient care and practice management decisions. The focal topics of this year’s Clinical Reasoning Series symposia are oral anticoagulants and health care–associated infections.

Each symposium this year, to be held live on Saturday, October 11, in conjunction with the 2014 ACCP Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas, will offer 6.0 contact hours of engaging, high-quality programming.

The table that follows summarizes the intended audience, specialty recertification credit offered, learning objectives, and sessions offered in each of the two symposia.
