ABOUT THIS COURSE
For experienced pediatric and adult cardiac sonographers.
Christopher Marcella’s course prepares the experienced pediatric and adult cardiac sonographer to earn the RDCS credentials in Pediatric Echocardiography from ARDMS and the Registered Congenital Cardiac Sonographer (RCCS) credential from CCI. This course entails a comprehensive review of echocardiography in congenital heart disease from the most basic cardiac lesion to complex disease.
The instructor’s insightful educational style has been developed over three decades of working closely with pediatric cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, sonographers, and students. This 12-hour course provides comprehensive registry preparation covering the ARDMS and CCI pediatric echocardiography credential outlines, as well as providing for continuing medical and educational content.
Chris is registered in pediatric, adult, and fetal echocardiography with the ARDMS. Our comprehensive pediatric echocardiography program, co-developed with Robert W. McDonald, an expert in the field of pediatric echocardiography, includes Chris’ extensive and detailed, yet easy to understand, lecture series plus a myriad of preparatory questions available through X-ZONE. Chris and Rob’s extensive experience and outstanding clinical educational material make them superbly qualified to lead our Pediatric Echocardiography Program.
Pediatric Echocardiography is taught by Christopher Marcella.
Chris leads a dynamic weekend webinar designed to engage and inspire. Packed with clips, case studies, and custom illustrations crafted by Chris himself, this course offers a hands-on, visual approach to learning. Perfectly tailored for those preparing for the ARDMS or CCI exams, it provides the tools and confidence needed to excel.
