The AAP Section on Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery along with the AAP Department of Education is proud to present an online offering of this course, designed to strengthen your knowledge in the specialty of pediatric cardiology whether you seek a review as part of exam preparation, or to help remain current in our field.
The targeted audience include:
- Pediatric cardiologists completing training and seeking board certification
- Established pediatric cardiologists seeking an update in the specialty and/or preparing for Recertification
- Cardiologists treating adult patients with congenital heart disease
- Neonatologists working with cardiac preterm babies
- Pediatricians with an interest in pediatric cardiology
- Advanced practice professionals who care for patients with congenital and acquired pediatric cardiac conditions
- Other health professionals who care for pediatric cardiology patients.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, you should be able to:
- Discuss principles of cardiovascular physiology and apply to pediatric cardiology practice
- Review principles of cardiovascular pathology and integrate with diagnosis and treatment
- Recognize pathological conditions relevant to pediatric cardiology
- Demonstrate enhanced ability to identify abnormalities seen in cardiovascular studies
- Differentiate cardiovascular conditions resulting from altered hemodynamics from similar appearing conditions produced by other pathologies
- Demonstrate enhanced knowledge of diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular techniques
- Discuss strategies for managing pre- and post-cardiac surgery patients
- Discuss options for managing the cardiac transplant patient
- Discuss principles of complex congenital heart disease and apply to pediatric cardiology practice.
- Demonstrate enhanced knowledge of diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular techniques including technique and management of left-right shunts
- Identify areas of relative strength and weakness in knowledge, and assess knowledge gains
