We are hoping to deliver this course in 2022 however due to the ongoing pandemic and wider implications on the RVC we can not take bookings at this time. In the meantime please register your interest with us and we will contact you when the course is bookable.
You’ve attended the Basic echocardiography course and you’re ready to move on? You can get the views but are unsure how to make accurate measurements? Would you like to know more about Doppler echocardiography?
Participants will build on echocardiographic skills developed in the Basic echocardiography course and improve their proficiency in 2D and M-mode echocardiography, focusing on quantification and lesion recognition. A grounding will also be provided in Doppler echocardiography, but with a focus on integrating all aspects of the echocardiography exam. Some prior experience will be assumed.
Why do this course?
If you have been practising echo on your own and want to polish up your technique, or if you want to learn more about Doppler echocardiography, then this is the course for you.
