About the Event

The 2026 Echo in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease Virtual Experience is a two-day virtual course, presented by course directors Jennifer Acevedo, ACS, RDCS, FASE and Tam Doan, MD, RDCS, FASE, on the latest information on established and emerging cardiovascular ultrasound technologies, clinical care and practical considerations in children and adults with congenital heart disease. Expert physician and sonographer faculty discuss current technologies with a particular focus on how they can be effectively applied in the clinical setting.

All sessions will have dedicated Question and Answer time where faculty will be joining live to answer participant questions.

Who Should Attend

The program is designed for adult and pediatric cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, nurses, sonographers and fellows in training. Participants should have a practical knowledge of echocardiography.

Learning Objectives

  • Gain practical strategies to enhance scanning technique, improve measurement accuracy, and establish a strong technical and conceptual foundation that supports more advanced imaging applications.
  • Understand practical acquisition techniques, vendor-related considerations, and common sources of error.
  • Learn a structured framework for evaluating D-TGA patients at every stage of life and understand when multimodality imaging escalation is warranted.
  • Review systematic fetal imaging, diagnostic precision, and practical decision-making under uncertainty.
  • Learn to recognize expected postoperative findings, identify early and late complications, and determine when advanced imaging is necessary.
  • Understand how multimodality imaging integrates into long-term management.

CME Information

The American Society of Echocardiography is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American Society of Echocardiography designates this activity for a maximum of 11.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) MOC program, and/or the American Board of Anesthesiology’s (ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program® or MOCA 2.0®. It is ASE’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM and ABP MOC points and/or ABA MOCA 2.0®.   Physicians will earn MOC and/or MOCA 2.0 points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity.

ARDMS and CCI recognize ASE’s certificates and have agreed to honor the CME credit hours toward their registry requirements for sonographers.

Registration includes a maximum of 11.00 CME/MOC credits for attending the live virtual course. Attendees will have access to OnDemand content for 90 days from November 23rd, 2026 to February 21st, 2027.
