Other

If no, have you taken other ultrasound training courses?(Required)

Please let us know which course(s) you have taken(Required)

Tell us about your current cardiac ultrasound level?(Required)

I am intermediate – I am fairly confident with my ability to get the needed cardiac views, need refinement on measurements and Doppler

I am intermediate/advanced – I am confident with the needed cardiac views, measurements and Doppler, but need refinement and work on more difficult presentations as well as efficiency

I am advanced – I am very confident with needed cardiac views, measurements and Doppler; I would like to take my current skills to the next level, improve efficiency and my clinical approach to pathology

How long have you specifically scanned hearts?(Required)

Are you familiar with Doppler?(Required)

Yes

Please select the top 3 areas you would like to focus on during the 3-hour scanning session and provide specifics. This will help us assign you to the correct instructor.

For examples to list your “pain points” you would like to refine in the specifics sections below after choosing your 3 areas to refine: 1. Feline echo: Specifics examples – general positioning, apical view options, special considerations, fat cat vs thin cat imaging, old cat vs young cat imaging 2. SDEP review: specifics examples- list the positions you want to focus on 3. Doppler use: Specifics examples- optimizing alignment, all the view options, moving the heart into the best position, difficult presentations 4. Image optimization: Specifics examples- cleaner position 3, overall refinement tips, the perfect brick every time, refining pos 4 diaphragm approach, left apical views; M mode vs 2D La/Ao 5. Timing/fine tuning of measurements: Specifics examples- measurements beyond SDEP echo, timing with the cardiac cycle, accuracy with difficult conformation 6. Challenging views tips: specifics examples- barrel chest, underweight, overweight, deep-chested conformations; lung or other thoracic interference 7. Advanced techniques: Specifics examples- smod, TDI, IVRT, SAM, diastology, ejection fractions via Simpsons MOD, Cornell/CC index 8. Advanced views: Specifics examples- left sided options, pulmonary options, recognizing cardiac tumors, recognizing other pathology, TV for pulmonary hypertension 9. Congenital views: Specifics examples – integrating smoothly into SDEP echo, PDA, ASD, VSD views
