2016 Essentials in Echocardiography Conference

Event Description:

The UC Irvine Health 2016 Essentials in Echocardiography Conference is designed to raise awareness within the medical community of recent advances in adult echocardiography, its versatile application and utility in diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease.

The objective is to equip cardiologists, cardiology fellows, intensivists, cardiac anesthesiologists, emergency room physicians, internal medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, sonographers and other health care providers interested in cardiac ultrasound with the latest recommendations and guidelines from professional societies, including the American Society of Echocardiography and the American College of Cardiology, and provide continuing medical education in the dynamic field of echocardiography.

Date: Sunday, Oct. 30, 2016 Location: UC Irvine Medical Center, 101 The City Drive South, Building 53, Auditorium, Orange, CA 92868 Time: 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the activity, the participant should be able to:

• Learn the highlights from the most recent guidelines including updates on diastology, the evaluation of a cardiac source of embolism, the echocardiographic assessment of atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale, recommendations on the use of echocardiography in adult hypertensions, multimodality imaging of diseases of the thoracic aorta in adults and valvular heart disease. The participant should be able to know the content of the major changes in the guidelines named above and apply the knowledge toward performing and the interpretation of echocardiography.
• Review techniques and protocols of bedside ultrasound. The participant should be able to identify the setting in which bedside ultrasound is indicated and follow, establish, perform and interpret bedside ultrasound appropriately and efficiently.
• Learn and be familiar with novel echocardiographic methods for determining cardiac function, risk stratification and patient management. The participant should be able to understand the concepts on which the new modalities are based, the benefits and indication of the echo imaging utilizing these tools and translate/incorporate them into his or her practice in order to enhance diagnostic utility of comprehensive echocardiography and improve patient care.
• Recognize common adult congenital heart disease conditions seen in standard echocardiography and other noninvasive imaging modalities for correlation, apply additional imaging steps to confirm/delineate the differential diagnoses and help contribute to the care plan of patients with congenital heart disease.

Transferrable credit

• Nurses
  
  • The California Board of Registered Nursing (CBRN) recognizes CME credit as transferrable for their members. Nurses may receive CEUs after submitting their UC Irvine attendance certificate directly to their board http://www.rn.ca.gov/licensees/ce-renewal#acceptable.
  • The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) accepts CME-accredited courses for their members as part of their requirements for recertification. See https://www.aanpcert.org/recert/index.
  • The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accepts formally approved CME-accredited courses for its members to gain CEUs (http://www.nursecredentialing.org/RenewalRequirements).
• Physician assistants
  
  • The California Department of Consumer Affairs Physician Assistant Board — Category 1 continuing medical education is required for physician assistants. Admissible CME must be provided by AMA and ACCME providers, among others. Visit the CA PAC Board’s Renewal Page http://www.pac.ca.gov/licensees/renewals.shtml for more information.
  • National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) — Certification requirements include 100 hours of CME, 50 of which must be Category 1 credits and the rest can be either Category 1 or 2. See http://www.nccpa.net/ContinuingMedicalEducation.
• Pharmacists

  If a CE course is not accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) or the Pharmacy Foundation of California (PFC) or approved as CE for pharmacists, you may petition the board for CE credit by submitting a "Pharmacists Petition for Continuing Education Credit from A Non-Recognized Provider" form from http://www.pharmacy.ca.gov/ and a fee of $40 per hour of coursework. When submitting the petition, a copy of the completion certificate, a copy of the course brochure or advertisement, and course outline are required.

• Dietetic technicians and registered dietitians

  Under the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), RDs and DTRs may claim credit for presentations given under CPE Activity Type 170 – Lectures/Seminars or Activity Type 171 – Webinars/ Teleseminars, provided that these activities were presented live. For any activity which is:

  • Live
  • Dietetics-related (corresponds to one of the Learning Need Codes/Performance Indicators on your Learning Plan)
  • Directed toward the education of professionals (as opposed to that of the lay public)
  • In keeping with the characteristics of Continuing Professional Education as defined in the CDR’s PDP Guide

  An RD/DTR can earn CPE credit for that program, even if that program does not have prior approval from CDR. Simply log the program in your Step 4: Activity Log under Activity Type 170, Lectures/Seminars, or Activity Type 171, Webinars/Teleseminars, and claim 1 CPEU for every 1 contact hour spent during the activity. Please also retain for your documentation either a certificate of completion or an agenda/timing outline, which accurately reflects the number of contact hours spent completing this activity.

  When counting contact hours, please be certain not to include time taken for breaks, meals or exams. Only time spent in lecture/workshop may be counted. See https://www.cdrnet.org/services-RDs-DTRs.
