This two-day symposium will provide training in neonatal echocardiography skills for medical professionals. Day one will cover the physics of ultrasound, routine ultrasound views, common structural lesions, and hands-on simulator practice. Day two focuses on advanced topics like assessing pulmonary hypertension, low blood flow states, and patent ductus arteriosus. Lectures are given by experts from Ireland, Canada, and the United States. The goal is to build skills that are directly applicable to clinical practice in evaluating cardiovascular health in newborns. Registration is required by February 4th and 5th, 2019 at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin, Ireland.
