Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Review Course 2023 for Boards and Recertification (Course)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Board Review Course is a comprehensive, five-day program designed to prepare participants for success on the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) certification exam. This intensive course focuses specifically on the NBE exam format, covering the entire field of echocardiography, including ultrasound physics, 2D and M-Mode, hemodynamics, valvular heart disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure and cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, and newer imaging techniques such as strain and 3-D echocardiography.
Esteemed experts and recognized educators, who are Mayo Clinic faculty in the field of echocardiography, provide in-depth didactic lectures that focus on integrating echocardiographic data into clinical practice. Each lecture is accompanied by multiple-choice question and answer sessions, facilitated by an audience response system. This course is not only ideal for individuals looking to pass the NBE certification exam but also for those who want to update their knowledge and skills in echocardiography. The course offers a comprehensive review of echocardiography, providing valuable pearls and concepts essential for the clinical practice of echocardiography.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Board Review Course is designed for cardiologists, echocardiographers, and cardiology fellows who possess a working knowledge of echocardiographic techniques and applications. This program is tailored to individuals who already have a foundational understanding of echocardiography and are seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in the field. Participants with prior experience in echocardiography will benefit the most from this program.
