Penn Medicine The 7th Alfred P. Fishman Symposium New Scientific Discoveries and Impact on Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension or Pulmonary Embolism 2025

Date & Location Friday, April 11, 2025, 8:00 AM – Saturday, April 12, 2025, 5:00 PM, The Rubenstein Auditorium at the Smilow Center for Translational Research at Penn Medicine, Philadelphia, PA

Course Overview
The Alfred P. Fishman Symposium will present cutting-edge topics pertinent to various types of pulmonary vascular disease. Major advances in research and understanding of the pathobiology and physiology in different types of pulmonary hypertension have translated into novel treatments for patients and a new way of looking at what constitutes successful treatment. Evolving treatment paradigms require a re-evaluation of clinical trial designs which are focused on patient well-being.
Target Audience
Specialties – INTERNAL MEDICINE – Pulmonary Disease, PEDIATRICS – Pediatric Pulmonology

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants should be able to:

Review how recent scientific discoveries in pulmonary hypertension can directly translate to improved patient outcomes
Discuss the different types of pulmonary hypertension and the appropriate treatment for each.
Describe the approach to risk stratification and choice of therapies or referral for lung transplantation
Review the new standard of care in treatment of pulmonary embolism and follow-up
Discuss novel and alternative approaches to studying treatments in patients with pulmonary hypertension

The 7th Alfred P. Fishman Symposium: New Scientific Discoveries and Impact on Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension or Pulmonary Embolism (2025) is designed for physicians and healthcare professionals specializing in pulmonary vascular diseases.
This symposium is particularly beneficial for:

Internal Medicine Physicians managing pulmonary hypertension and embolism.
Pulmonologists & Pediatric Pulmonologists focusing on advanced treatment strategies.
Cardiologists involved in cardiovascular aspects of pulmonary vascular disease.
Critical Care Physicians overseeing high-risk pulmonary cases.
Researchers & Clinicians interested in novel therapies and evolving treatment paradigms.

The event will cover cutting-edge research, risk stratification, treatment approaches, and emerging therapies for pulmonary hypertension and embolism.
