Fetal Echocardiography

LIVE 12 Week Cross-Training Course



Build a strong foundation in fetal cardiac imaging with our comprehensive 12-week Fetal Echocardiography Cross-Training Course, designed for sonographers, maternal-fetal medicine professionals, and healthcare providers seeking to deepen their expertise in fetal heart evaluation. This course goes beyond textbook knowledge, blending essential theory with practical imaging techniques to help you confidently perform core fetal echocardiography views.

Each week focuses on key aspects of fetal echo — from cardiac embryology, anatomy, and physiology to standard screening views, Doppler assessment, and the evaluation of congenital heart disease. Through detailed lectures, real-world case studies, image review sessions, and step-by-step scanning guidance, you’ll learn how to optimize image quality, identify structural abnormalities, and apply systematic protocols in clinical practice.

While the course is not registry-focused, it follows a structured outline aligned with ARDMS® fetal echo content domains — making it a valuable foundation for those considering future certification. 

Attendees will attend weekly online didactic modules covering cardiac anatomy, physiology, imaging techniques, and pathology. Additioally, with upgraded option - attendees will attend hands-on scanning labs in Columbus, OH with expert-led instruction.

By the end of twelve weeks, you’ll have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to scan core fetal cardiac assessments and contribute meaningfully to prenatal care teams.

FAQ

  • Is this the only training I need to be proficient in fetal echocardiography?

    No. Absolutely not! Fetal Echocardiography requires a committment to life-long learning. It is a skill that can be challenging to master and 12 weeks is not enough time to allow for that. This course is designed as a clinical bridge pathway into Fetal Echocardiography for sonographers who are cross-training at their work facility. This provides the core didactics and targets basic foundational core fetal echo views, quantifications and congenital heart defects - when combined with your local learning pathways and clinical verification, this will help provide a solid foundation and a clinical jumpstart into Fetal Cardiac Ultrasound.

  • Will I be able to pass the registry exam by completing this course?

    This course does not provide a formal pathway for eligibility for your registry exam. If you are currently eligible to sit for the registry exam through the ARDMS, then this can help prepare you for those exams. However, this course does not meet any pathway requirements and does not provide clinical verification forms or clinical sites necessary for registry eligibility.

  • What are the prerequisites for this course?

    All learners in this course MUST be a registered cardiac or general sonographer or a physician with understanding and documented proficiency in ultrasound physics and performing either pediatric echo or OB/GYN ultrasound exams. This is not a stand alone echo course. Learners will be expected to have the core ultrasound foundations prior to attending this course.

  • Can I take the online only portion without the hands on session?

    Yes. If you are just learning echo and are new to the hands on aspect of fetal echocardiography, we highly recommend the hands on scanning labs. However, we do offer the stand alone online didactic course, as many learners have hands on support at the facility where they are cross training and only need the didactic foundation. You're free to book the online only portion at checkout.

Don't take our word for it. See what sonographers like you have to say...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The interactive format was engaging!

The interactive and virtual format of the ACS registry review course was engaging and easy to use. The review format helped prepare me for the different types of questions that were on the actual exam.”

Ervin Castro, ACS, RCS, RCCS, CCT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This was a great SPI review!

This was a great review. The quiz feedback on the questions is helpful and I would recommend it to any imaging professional.”

Kathy Patterson

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love the test format

This review quiz was a great format and love having mobile access. The feedback based on my answers really helped me study. I am so glad I found this website!”

Lori Dixon, RVT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I passed my ACS!

I wanted to write you to express how grateful I am to your ACS quiz site! The explanations you provided why answers were right/wrong was exactly what I needed to prepare myself for the exam... especially the equations and math problems!!! I found that there were some of your quiz questions on the exam!! Again, thank you so much for what this site offers!!! ”

Kendra Vartia, BS, RDCS, ACS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great purchase and I would recommend it to any professional!

This material covers a wide scope of questions. I really liked the format and how the questions and answers are arranged, very easy to use. Also the fact that there are explanations for the answers is a plus. I really feel that this was the material that helped me the most to pass my ACS exam. Great purchase and I would recommend it to any professional that would like to advance in their career.”

Jose Serrat, ACS, RVT, RDMS, RDCS, R.NCS.T, CCT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The ACS registry review was very helpful!

The ACS registry review course was very helpful, especially when first beginning the process of studying. The real-time feedback helped me to discover where my knowledge gaps were so that I could target those specific areas. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to earn the ACS credential.”

Lauren Castro, ACS, RDCS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I passed my RCCS!!

I just want to take time to say THANK YOU! I PASSED MY RCCS! I wouldn't have passed this test without your review program.”

Andrea Barnaby, RCS, RCCS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Echocardiography knowledge base is excellent!

The advanced cardiac sonographer test and learn quiz is a wonderful tool to help prepare your mindset to think at the next level. Many of the tools we may have forgotten as sonographers are resurrected by going through these modules which you will need when taking the ACS registry test. I highly recommend the All About Ultrasound/iHeartecho ACS module and website for everyone looking to push the horizon of your knowledge to the next mountain. ”

Carlton Hartwell, ACS, RDCS, FASE

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Really great review!

I like the presentation format on the review course slides. Really easy to follow. I also like the images and question feedback on the quiz. Really good study tool! ”
