Critical Care Echocardiography Review Course

Explore all aspects of echocardiography in critically ill patients and prepare for the critical care echocardiography board examination.

The next course will be held in November 2024. Registration will open in the spring.

Featuring highly skilled multiprofessional experts, the course prepares participants for the critical care echocardiography board examination and provides them with valuable information for staying up to date on the latest in team-based care and ultrasound and echocardiography education.

Accredited continuing education credit and maintenance of certification points are available.

On completion of the course, learners will be able to:

Discuss relevant clinical topics and updates to increase their knowledge base in critical care echocardiography
Assess the scientific foundations and literature evidence for using echocardiography in critically ill patients
Apply effective learning approaches, including case-based discussion and question review, to implement echocardiography in the critical care setting

The course is held in partnership between the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the American Society of Echocardiography and is intended for critical care practitioners who are already familiar with ultrasound and echocardiography.

Concise Critical Appraisal: Development of the CCEeXAM

Critical care clinicians are increasingly using echocardiography to rapidly and noninvasively diagnose shock, hemodynamic instability, and respiratory failure; evaluate cardiac function; and track response to interventions. This Concise Critical Appraisal dives into a Critical Care Medicine article about the development of the first Examination of Special Competence in Critical Care Echocardiography (CCEeXAM). Learn about the certification process and how this skill can improve your practice.
