Critical Care Echocardiography Program – For Doctors

What is the weekly duration commitment for each part of the training program?

The commitment varies for each part of the program. For Part 1, you’re required to attend two 3-hour sessions per week. Part 2 intensifies to five days a week, and Part 3 typically starts with four days a week, potentially increasing to 5 based on your progress.

Where are the clinical placements and IBL conducted?

Clinical placements and IBL sessions are held at our clinics across Victoria. For more information on specific locations, please visit our website at Heartscope locations. You will be supervised throughout your placements to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.

My medical sonography (cardiac) course indicates a training placement is a prerequisite. Can this program assist me in my course enrolment?

Yes, our program is designed to assist you with this; however, there are certain restrictions. You will see that entry prerequisites typically state:

“Applicants must provide a support letter validating a training position in an ultrasound department or cardiac lab. The supervising professional should be an accredited medical sonographer registered with ASAR (Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry) or hold equivalent registration.”

We can only provide this support letter if you progress to Part 3: Industry-Based Learning of our program. Please note that Part 3 requires the completion of Parts 1 and 2 and a successful interview selection process. We set these requirements to ensure participants are prepared and committed, upholding our high training standards so we can provide you tailored support for your career in cardiac sonography.

Do I need ASAR accreditation to do Part 3?

Yes, for Part 3, you must be enrolled in a course that’s accredited by the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR). You will also need to register as a student sonographer with ASAR, which is typically required by your university course.

I'm concerned about not securing a placement into Part 3 after completing Part 1 and Part 2, given the financial investment I'm making. Are there any assurances that my investment will be valuable?

Absolutely! Even if you don’t proceed to Part 3, our in-depth curriculum is designed to build your scanning skills and provide you with an extensive practical skillset in echocardiography. Through Parts 1 and 2, you’ll gain comprehensive knowledge of all relevant pathologies. Our course is highly regarded by many cardiologists and organisations, and you will be able to showcase your Scope Institute certifications showing your training here, which would significantly increase your chances of receiving a support letter and advancing in your echocardiography university course.

What can I expect from the Critical Care Echocardiography Program as a doctor?

This intensive course is specifically designed for medical doctors, offering advanced echocardiography training over 11 days (spread across 11 weeks). The program combines theoretical knowledge relating to how to perform advanced echocardiograms with practical application, rapidly enhancing your diagnostic capabilities.

Who conducts the training sessions in the Critical Care Echocardiography Program?

Reena, our most senior cardiac sonographer and head trainer educator, conducts these sessions. With extensive experience in echocardiography and teaching other doctors and ED physicians, Reena ensures that all participants receive expert guidance and instruction.

Who can participate in the Critical Care Echocardiography Program?

We welcome Emergency Physicians, Anesthesiologists, Cardiologists, and other APHRA-registered medical professionals looking to enhance their critical care echocardiography skills and knowledge.

What qualifications do Australian doctors need to participate in the Critical Care Echocardiography Program?

Doctors in Australia need to be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to practice and participate in this program. This ensures that all participants are qualified medical professionals practicing within Australian healthcare standards.
