Course Overview

The Focused Bedside TTE and Ultrasound certification course covers key concepts such as ultrasound physics, hemodynamic, and global echocardiology assessments. Students delve deep into lung ultrasound, transthoracic echocardiology, measurement techniques, and the physics of Doppler. The course is equipped with video lectures and is devoid of assessments or certificates upon completion.

Besides, the Focused Bedside TTE and Ultrasound certification by edX is developed for the fields of internal medicine, division of anesthesia, emergency medicine, and critical care medicine. The course level is introductory and is a short course that will be beneficial for candidates interested in medicine or medicinal research. Participants with a firm grasp of elementary medical concepts can benefit from the training.

Offered by the prestigious Stanford University, through their eminent Stanford Online program, the Focused Bedside TTE and Ultrasound online course is taught by experienced faculties, namely Annie Sofie Beraud and Sara Nikravan. The programme also has an unmoderated discussion forum for candidates to enhance their knowledge by putting their points of view or asking the faculties questions.
