Enhance skills in diagnosing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with this immersive, in-person training led by expert faculty. This hands-on course features small-group learning at interactive stations with real patients, individualized scanning time, and case-based image interpretation to help improve diagnostic accuracy using echocardiography. Participants will earn up to 6 CME credits* and receive a Certificate of Completion.

*NOTICE: Participants must complete the online prerequisite Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Microlessons: OnDemand prior to enrolling in this in-person workshop. Participants will earn 2 CME credits for completing the OnDemand course then earn an additional 4 CME credits for participating in the 4-hour in-person workshop. 

Please only select one session (either the 8:00 am morning session or the 1:00 pm afternoon session), as space is limited and the content is the same in both sessions.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key clinical indications for echocardiographic evaluation in patients suspected of having HCM.
• Utilize various echocardiographic modalities effectively to assess HCM.
• Discuss factors that can compromise image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
• Demonstrate a systematic echocardiographic evaluation for HCM, including the necessary views and windows.
• Interpret echocardiographic findings accurately to distinguish HCM from other cardiac conditions with similar features.

Prerequisite:

All registrants must complete the online Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Microlessons: OnDemand course prior to the June 7 training day. The information in this free 2 CME credit course is foundational and necessary for the day's hands-on training. Learners who do not complete the HCM Microlessons: On Demand course will not be eligible for a Certificate of Completion.

CME Information:

ASE is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide accredited continuing education for physicians. 

ASE designates this live course for a maximum of 6.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. You must complete both the in-person workshop and the online activity to claim all 6.0 CME credits. (If you have already completed the HCM OnDemand activity prior to registering for the workshop, you may not claim credit for it again.)

In addition to offering CME credits, this activity has been developed and registered with ACCME to provide 6.0 MOC and MOCA 2.0 credits in alignment with AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. 

Successful completion of this CME activity enables the participant to earn up to 6.0 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®. 

Participants should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Physicians will earn MOC and/or MOCA 2.0 points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. 

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