Change is almost always good, but this time it is great. ASEUniversity.org, ASE’s online education site, not only has a whole new look, but it is much easier to find exactly what you need. Here are some highlights of the new site:

• The log in process is much more efficient, allowing you to manage your account.
• It is easier to identify Exam Prep, Conference Recordings, and Online Education.
• You can search by any topic, or specific faculty, and get a comprehensive list of offerings.

This is not the last of the changes. Other exciting features will be added in the coming weeks! Be sure to check out the new ASEUniversity.org today and add it to your routine in the future.

As a special feature to go along with the latest guideline, Recommendations for Noninvasive Evaluation of Native Valvular Regurgitation: A Report from the American Society of Echocardiography Developed in Collaboration with the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, we have included eight Valvular Regurgitation Cases. These cases highlight the guideline contents, and more cases will be added as they become available.

Echocardiography is a visual science and so much of what we do involves images. To celebrate this, we have added a new dimension to our #ASE2017 social media campaign (Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook) that helps tell the story of how the ASE Scientific Sessions has impacted our members.

Share your first ASE Scientific Sessions experience using #ASEFirstTimer, include an image, and tag ASE so we can all enjoy your story. To see the impact, search using the hashtag, #ASEFirstTimer.

Nine ASE Foundation volunteers recently returned from a successful 3-day training event in Havana, Cuba. Held April 6-8, the educational training event took place at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital, the premier hospital in Havana. More than 300 cardiologists from throughout Cuba participated, all of whom perform echocardiography as part of their practice. Cuban officials estimated we reached 91% of the echocardiographers in that country. The physicians located outside of Havana received support from the Cuban government for hotel accommodations as well as transportation to and from Havana to attend this event.

All talks, including those from our ASEF representatives, were presented in Spanish, and included advanced topics such as strain imaging/speckle tracking, cardio-oncology, congenital heart disease, the use of echocardiography in intervention, and advances in echocardiography. The talks were recorded for future dissemination throughout Spanish-speaking countries. A favorite giveaway at the event was USB drives loaded with ASE guideline documents, including Spanish translations, placing important ASE reference materials in the hands of each participant. This guideline dissemination is a key feature of ASEF’s missions, fostering standardized patient care throughout the global medical community. Working alongside the Cuban Society of Cardiology and the InterAmerican Association of Echocardiography resulted in a unique and historic collaboration. Read more here.
