Share knowledge and best practices
with the industry’s finest.
As a physician-owned and physician-led platform, CVL recognizes the unmatched wealth of expertise and knowledge that resides in our partner practices. Through our Physician Advisory Councils (PACs) and Practice Enhancement Councils (PECs), we offer the unique opportunity to learn from other top-tier cardiologists, cross-pollinate innovative ideas, and provide direct input into practice operation enhancements.
As a CVL partner practice, your physicians and practice team members can join a PAC or PEC that aligns with their experience and areas of interest. It’s a great way to get involved in the platform’s focus and direction on a national level while maintaining full autonomy of your decision-making at the local level.
Our unique knowledge-sharing approach is just one reason CVL continues to attract premier practices that are passionate about transforming cardiovascular medicine.

Since their inception in 2023, these councils have grown in number and participation as more physicians add their clinical experience and insights to the conversation. Most of our PACs focus on a specific disease state or service area that directly impacts patient health outcomes.
