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.
