FAQ

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

    No. Absolutely not! Echocardiography requires a committment to life-long learning. It is a skill that can be challenging to master and an accelerated course is not enough time to allow for that. This course is designed as a clinical bridge pathway into Adult Echocardiography for medical professionals who need a basic understanding of adult echocardiography views, pathology and hemodynamics. This provides the core didactics and targets basic foundational core echo views and quantifications - this course will help provide an introduction and a clinical jumpstart into 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 CCI or 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 physician, sonographer, EMS, critical care nurse or other healthcare professional. Understanding of ultrasound fundamentals prior to this course is recommended.

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

    Yes. If you are just learning echo basics and are new to the hands on aspect of echocardiography, we highly recommend the hands on scanning labs. However, we do offer the stand alone online didactic course. You're free to book the online only portion at checkout - please note the online portion will not be fully available until after the hands-on timeline is completed.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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. ”
