Fetal Cardiology Virtual Workshop
This is a 4-hour virtual course designed to educate medical providers involved in the care of pregnant women on the indications, screening views, and common anomalies seen in fetal congenital heart disease. Additionally we will cover basic spectral Doppler evaluation of the fetal vessels (including MCA, ductus venosus, and umbilical cord) as well as a collaborative approach to fetal evaluation in complex medical disease.
Registration Closes at midnight May 12.
