SCA Echo Board Review Course 2025 (Videos with subtitles)

Format: 15 MP4 + 15 VTT + 2 PDF files

This focused two-day board review is designed specifically for those preparing for the National Board of Echocardiography’s Advanced Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography (Advanced PTEeXAM). Delivered by leading experts in perioperative echocardiography, the course emphasizes exam-focused preparation through detailed review of physics, hemodynamics, clinical interpretation, and test simulation.

The structured agenda includes high-yield lectures, interactive mock exams, and panel-led discussions that walk participants through question types, critical reasoning, and nuanced imaging interpretation.

🗓 Agenda Highlights

Saturday, May 31, 2025

• Ultrasound Physics Modules 1–3
  Led by Dr. Feroze Mahmood, these sessions cover fundamental principles critical to the exam

• Mock Exams 1–3
  Delivered by Drs. Robitaille, Mahboobi, and Golhar — each followed by expert panel discussions

Sunday, June 1, 2025

• Hemodynamics Workshop Series (1–4)
  Hands-on clinical hemodynamic principles with Drs. Sharkey and Mahmood

• Physics & Hemodynamic Core Principles
  Final concepts reinforced in structured review

• Mock Exam 4 + Discussion
  Facilitated by Dr. Kendra Derry, emphasizing integration of clinical reasoning with exam scenarios

🎯 Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the foundational physics behind ultrasound and Doppler imaging

• Apply hemodynamic calculations in perioperative decision-making

• Interpret 2D and 3D echocardiographic data and Doppler findings in normal and pathologic states

• Assess native and prosthetic valve function using advanced imaging principles

• Integrate TEE findings into real-time surgical and interventional planning

👩‍⚕️ Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for:

• Anesthesiology fellows and residents preparing for the Advanced PTEeXAM

• Practicing cardiac anesthesiologists seeking a structured, exam-relevant refresher

• Clinicians in perioperative and cardiovascular imaging roles
