MAY 19 - 23, 2008
INTRODUCTION TO 2D/M-MODE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND CARDIAC DOPPLER/COLOR FLOW IMAGING COURSE - A HANDS-ON COURSE FOR PHYSICIANS & SONOGRAPHERS. Provided by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute for Continuing Medical Education, St. Pete Beach, FL. At the completion of the program the participant should be able to: identify and analyze the basics of cardiac anatomy/physiology; perform a routine 2D/M-Mode/Doppler (pulsed-wave, continuous wave and Color Flow imaging) echocardiographic examination and appropriate measurements; identify normal/abnormal characteristics of 2D cardiac anatomy and explain the role of cardiac Doppler and the necessary qualitative/quantitative measurements; discuss the ultrasound findings associated with valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies, ischemic heart disease (CAD), pericardial disease and cardiac masses; assess cardiac Doppler/color indications, applications, normal/abnormal waveform characteristics, Doppler measurements and color characteristics in the adult patient; apply the information discussed in a clinical setting, under supervised conditions, until an accepted level of proficiency has been achieved; increase knowledge and confidence to perform and/or interpret examinations. 40 AMA PRA Category I credits. To register or for more information, visit Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute at www.gcus.com or call 800-619-1900 or 727-363-4500.

3RD ANNUAL - THE BEAT GOES ON - The Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes. For more information and to register please call 336-716-4505, visit www.wfubmc.edu/ultrasound, or email cmu@wfubmc.edu.

OCTOBER 6 - 10, 2008 . . . Winston-Salem, NC
ADULT ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY - The Adult Echocardiography courses provide an introduction to basic cardiac ultrasound techniques, including two-dimensional and m-mode echocardiography and spectral and color flow Doppler. A combined lexture and hands-on porcine heart dissection format provides coverage of relevant cardiac anatomy. An introduction to basic ultrasound and Doppler physics is followed by an overview of normal and abnormal patterns as well as quantitative analysis. Pathophysiology relevant to common cardiac diagnoses is covered in a systematic fashion. While brief overviews of advanced techniques such as transesophageal and stress echocardiography are provided, the emphasis is on fundamental and practical aspects of adult echocardiography. There are several interpretation workshops and a guided self-assessment section in an extensive syllabus with lecture summaries and reprints provided to each participant. Several small-group scanning labs are conducted using equipment from major manufacturers to provide practical "hands-on" experience. 41 CME credits. Center for Medical Ultrasound, Medical Center Boulevard, Winston-Salem, NC. For more information and to register please call 336-716-4505, visit www.wfubmc.edu/ultrasound, or email cmu@wfubmc.edu.
