Critical Care Echo

This two day course aims to help participants achieve competence in performing and interpreting transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the critical care setting.
With 6-8 weeks of preparation using the outstanding University of Melbourne Transthoracic Echocardiography Simulator Course, that culminates in a two-day intensive workshop held at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne led by Intensivists, we hope that essential skills will be retained for longer than traditional short courses allow.
