Advanced Echocardiography Workshop
This course is designed to give participants a more advanced understanding of small animal echocardiography. Major topics include in-depth cardiac anatomy and physiology, techniques for achieving high-quality results, case presentations of important diseases and handson scanning of normal dogs. Skills taught in these hands-on sessions include pulse wave Doppler, continuous wave Doppler, colour flow Doppler, special measurements and calculations and applying the Bernoulli equation to clinical cases. Requirements: This workshop is only available to individuals who have completed the Basic Echocardiography Workshop, or who can provide evidence of equivalent experience.

Learning outcomes
By successfully completing this course, you will:
- Incorporate advanced imaging techniques to optimise the visualisation of cardiac structures and functions in small animals.
- Interpret echocardiographic findings in relation to underlying cardiac anatomy and physiology to enhance diagnostic precision.
- Demonstrate the ability to use the Bernoulli equation to assess and interpret haemodynamic changes in clinical cases, enhancing decision-making in the management of cardiac conditions.

What is a workshop?
Highly practical - develop the confidence to implement your new skills on your return to work
Practical workshops are an ideal way to build confidence and competence in your skills, as you put theory into practice.
Ideally balanced combination of theoretical and hands-on education, our workshops allow participants to obtain the most benefit possible through practical application of the skills being taught. Small group teaching with a high tutor to participant ratio will ensure that you benefit from individual attention from your highly regarded and experienced tutor/s. Nothing beats on-the-spot feedback as you learn a new procedure.
Who should enrol?
This course is suitable for qualified veterinarians.
