About HCM

Let’s Beat HCM! is a pilot train-the-trainer continuing medical education (CME) initiative from the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC). The program’s objective is to improve the screening, timely diagnosis, and effective management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), particularly in Black communities where the disease is prevalent and underdiagnosed. Through a peer-to-peer education model, expert “Super Trainers” develop a core curriculum aligned with the latest HCM guidelines and train medical professionals who are leaders in their respective communities to provide education to local medical professionals. These leaders will provide customized education to frontline providers at local and state-level medical meetings. The pilot targets Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Massachusetts.
