Ideal combination of theory and hands-on experience
The DEGUM (German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine) defines clear guidelines for the organisation and certification of echocardiography courses. The courses at the Echocardiography Academy comply with these guidelines and are certified by DEGUM. This means that they meet the highest standards in terms of training and qualification.
Echocardiography is not only an indispensable basic diagnostic tool in clinical routine, but is also essential in therapy planning and implementation, particularly in the area of structural heart disease.
The four-day DEGUM Echo-Doppler basic course deals with physical principles, device settings and standard sectional planes. It also covers the measurement of systolic function and the assessment of valvular heart disease.
The knowledge learnt is applied and discussed in small groups during the practical part of the course.
After completing the course, the participant will be able to perform a standard examination and recognise the key pathologies.
The 4-day program starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday. Find out more about the specific content of the program here.
The training program takes place in presence at the DHZB Academy.
