Session 12 starts September 2, 2010
Online Course - Introduction
to Basic Echocardiography
Course
Design
This is an Internet structured instructor driven course. In addition to the course textbooks, there will be numerous
interactive exercises and simulations to ensure a total learning experience. The course participants can meet online in a
private chat room on a weekly basis. The sessions will last approximately one hour. Although attendance at the weekly
chat sessions is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged. Additional assignments, worksheets, videos and links will be posted on your personal assignment page. Quizzes are given throughout the course and a final exam
will be given at the end of the course. A certificate of completion will be awarded to each participant passing the
individual sections and final exam. The participant has the flexibility to work at a faster pace.You also receive 24 CME credits!
Managers!
If you are contemplating cross-training or registry prep of your employees, Echo-Web can provide the didactic instruction while you or another staff member acts as Preceptor can offer them the hand's-on experience. In addition, the Preceptor will receive all of Echo-Web's course offerings free of charge for participating in the student's training. Your cross-training employee can complete the project with no worries of time out of the lab, reservations, travel/flights, or mental overload by having to attend consecutive days of 8 hour instruction. They can prepare for the registry or cross-train at their own pace!
