About This CME Teaching Activity ▼
AAP 2019 Specialty Review in Pediatric Cardiology is an intensive and comprehensive course designed to strengthen your knowledge in the specialty of pediatric cardiology. The program focuses on Genetics, Pharmacology, Physiology, Pathology, Molecular Biology, Statistics, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures, Management of the Cardiac Transplant Patient. Content of this series can be used as a review or merely a way to remain current in the field.

Material contained in this product was captured during the live 2018 Specialty Review in Pediatric Cardiology.

Target Audience ▼
This CME activity will greatly benefit physicians in the fields of obstetric imaging, fetal echocardiography and pediatric cardiology. Residents in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as fellows in maternal fetal medicine and pediatric cardiology, will also benefit greatly. It should also prove valuable to those physicians wanting to gain a more in depth knowledge of fetal echocardiography.
