Successful Accreditation in Echocardiography – A Self–Assessment Guide
A Self–Assessment Guide
Samenvatting
Sitting an accreditation examination is a daunting prospect for many trainee echocardiographers. And with an increasing drive for the accreditation of echocardiography laboratories and individual echocardiographers, there is a need for an all–encompassing revision aid for those seeking accreditation.
The editors of this unique book have produced the only echocardiography revision aid based on the syllabus and format of the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) national echocardiography accreditation examination and similar examinations administered across Europe. Written by BSE accredited members, fully endorsed by the BSE, and with a foreword by BSE past–president, DR. Simon Ray, this indispensable guide provides a valuable insight into how echocardiography accreditation exams are structured.
Crucially, to support students with the more challenging video section of the exam, a companion website provides video cases, and with clear and concisely–structured explanations to all questions, this is an essential tool for anyone preparing to sit an echocardiography examination.
