Building a community of echocardiography enthusiasts!
We are a professional group of physicians, sonographers, fellows, and students with an interest in pediatric echocardiography. The area of interest extends into other patient groups such as fetuses and adults patients with congenital heart disease, and other imaging modalities such as MRI and CT.
We hold regular web meetings and yearly in-person meetings for our members to learn, discuss, and showcase various complex congenital heart conditions.
