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 12 weeks is not enough time to allow for that. This course is designed as a clinical bridge pathway into Pediatric Echocardiography for sonographers who are cross-training at their work facility. This provides the core didactics and targets basic foundational core 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 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 a registered cardiac sonographer (RDCS or RCS) or a physician with understanding and documented proficiency in ultrasound physics and cardiac ultrasound exams. This is not a stand alone echo course. Learners will be expected to have the core cardiac 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 pediatric 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.
Why Study With Us?
Included with our cross-training course is our Test & Learn Registry Review Quiz designed to help you learn as you go, with questions and answers that rotate with each attempt and questions with feedback based on your quiz answers. Our study resources are prepared by multi-credentialed sonographers with expertise in pediatric and congenital echocardiography, proven to help you master the content and pass your ARDMS® RDCS (PE) or CCI® RCCS registry exam, with several purchase options designed for every budget. Study with us today!

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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. ”
