Northside Hospital Forsyth recently issued the following announcement.
Northside’s Dr. Lalitha C. Medepalli, noninvasive cardiology, has become the first physician in the Atlanta region, just the second in Georgia, to receive board certification in cardio-oncology.
Dr. Medepalli serves as chair of the cardio-oncology task force at Northside Hospital.
According to the International Cardio-Oncology Society (IC-OS), the aim of the certification testing process is to establish an advanced level of commitment, education and clinical experience in cardio-oncology that is common among IC-OS certified clinicians.
“This should provide patients and clinicians assurance that patients seeing IC-OS Certified cardio-oncologists are receiving care from physicians who have attained a superior state of the art level of knowledge and clinical experience in cardio-oncology and have committed to maintaining that level of competence,” the organization said.
