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
