COURSE DESCRIPTION

This enduring material is a recording of the Mayo Echocardiography Review Course for Boards and Recertification (April 30-May 3, 2016). Physician participation in this activity consists of reviewing the pdf presentations and video and completing the online exam with an 80% pass rate to claim credit. It is estimated that this activity will take 28.75 viewing hours to complete. Mayo Echocardiography Review Course for Boards and Recertification is designed to prepare attendees taking the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) certification examination. It has a focused emphasis on the NBE examination format, 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. The course will review all aspects of cardiovascular ultrasound with a practical and clinical disease orientated focus. Well-known experts and recognized educators in each field of echocardiography will give in-depth didactic lectures pertaining particularly to integration of echocardiographic data into clinical practice.

Please note:  References made to things available on your portal or dashboard only pertain to live course attendees, and not all content presented at the live course is presented in the online or DVD format. This is a result in the change of credits offered. Please refer to the DVD breakdown in your uploaded materials for the content available to you.
