2025 Echocardiography Online Board Review – Mayo Clinic (Videos + Slides)

Course Description

Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Online Board Review course has a focused emphasis on the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) examination format covering the entire field of Echocardiography including ultrasound physics, 2-D and M-Mode, hemodynamics, valvular heart disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, and newer imaging techniques including strain and 3-D echocardiography. Well-known experts and recognized educators comprised primarily of Mayo Clinic faculty, in each field of echocardiography will give in-depth didactic lectures pertaining particularly to the integration of echocardiographic data into clinical practice. The Echocardiography Online Board Review course is delivered through an online personalized learning gateway enabling learners to take a pre-assessment to identify areas of strength and weakness, then direct their learning with personalized study recommendations that concentrate solely on areas where they need reinforcement.

The Echocardiography Online Board Review course is delivered through an online personalized learning gateway enabling learners to take a pre-assessment to identify areas of strength and weakness, then direct their learning with personalized study recommendations that concentrate solely on areas where they need reinforcement. Learners can view videos from the blended (In-Person and Livestream) course, listen to streaming audio presentations, journal citations, articles and guidelines and board key takeaways, take pre- and post-assessments and more.

The Echocardiography Online Board Review requires a passing post-assessment score of 80% or higher in two attempts or less upon completion to acquire AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM, ABS Credit and ABIM MOC Medical Knowledge points. The post-assessment questions are broken down in modules and credit can be obtained as you complete each module.

Course Learning Objectives
