Pediatric Echocardiography Course

Pediatric Echocardiography is organized by The Burwin Institute of Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound.

Description:
This course covers cardiac embryology, the normal fetal and postnatal heart and their circulations, hemodynamics, scanning views and techniques, congenital and acquired cardiac pathology and its appearance on the echocardiogram.

This course will be helpful to those preparing for the Registry Pediatric Echocardiography examination and as a review for practicing pediatric echocardiographers.

Included in the course are hundreds of questions similar to those on the Registry examination. The course also includes a selection of video cases of normal and abnormal pediatric echocardiographic examinations.

Students take a closed book examination at the end of the course. This allows the student to assess their level of knowledge and to discover any area of study which may require more attention prior to the Registry examination.
