The Cardiovascular Effects of a Plant-Based Diet

Learn how a plant-based diet can impact cardiovascular health and how it is different from other cardiac diets.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 45 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians.
 
The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:

• Define a plant-based diet and differentiate it from other cardiac diets.
• Evaluate the health benefits of a plant-based diet.
• Describe the environmental impact of a plant-based diet.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
