About this course

Dates: December 2, 9, 16, 18, 2025 (4 pm – 6:30 pm CT each day) | Credits: 33.25* | Location: Attend virtually

Prepare for the National Board of Echocardiography Examination of Special Competence in Critical Care Echocardiography (CCEeXAM). During 2.5-hour virtual sessions held over 4 days, expert faculty will lead you through the advanced critical care echocardiography (ACCE) knowledge base, honing your expertise of CCEeXAM concepts like image interpretation, clinical applications, stroke volume, and valve disorders.

Through online content with more than 180 questions, case-based discussions, question-and-answer sessions with faculty, and two 50-question practice exams, you’ll be better equipped to take the CCEeXAM and serve your patients at bedside. You will have access to course content, including virtual session recordings, in My Learning for 1 year.    

Can't attend this course in December? Purchase the self-paced option to receive access to videos and prerecorded lectures from the 2024 virtual course. The self-paced course will be accessible by Friday, November 1. You will have access to the content in My Learning for 1-year.
