SUMMARY:Cardiac CT Practicum: The Total Experience
DESCRIPTION:Cardiac CT Practicum\n\nPresented by\nJohns Hopkins Univer
 sity School of Medicine\nOffice of Continuing Medical Education\n\nFeb
 ruary 14-18, 2011\n\nTo check availability and reserve your seat at th
 is activity, please call Susan Orr at 410-550-0845 or email: sorr@jhmi
 .edu.\n\nDESCRIPTION\n\nThe activity is held monthly at the Johns Hopk
 ins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, in a multimedia cla
 ssroom constructed specifically for the learner’s needs. This is a w
 orkstation-based training activity, designed to meet American College 
 of Cardiology/American Heart Association Level II and III requirements
 . Each participant has their own workstation to use throughout the act
 ivity and receives personal attention and instruction by the activity 
 faculty. A workstation, which projects to the front of the room is use
 d by instructors to demonstrate various aspects of CT interpretation. 
 After receiving training on the use of the workstation, a case library
  of over 150 cases selected to demonstrate the variety of pathology, w
 hich can be evaluated by CT (coronary disease, bypass grafts, stents, 
 anomalies, cardiomyopathies, EP, pericardial disease, cardiac tumors) 
 is reviewed. A minimum of 100 cases is reviewed during the five days o
 f the activity.\n\nTwenty hours of didactic instruction is included th
 rough lectures and reading materials, which will cover topics of patie
 nt selection, preparation, radiation, contrast, cardiac anatomy, asses
 sment of cardiac function, cardiac pathology, etc. Members of the John
 s Hopkins faculty and guest faculty will present these topics. Partici
 pants will take a quiz to confirm understanding of these materials.\n\
 nThe requirement for observation of the acquisition of 50 studies is s
 atisfied by utilizing a combination of onsite observation of approxima
 tely 25 studies supplemented by interactive observation of approximate
 ly 25 studies performed offsite and viewed by interactive video link. 
 Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during acquisi
 tion of the studies (i.e., patient selection, use of beta blockers) an
 d to observe the steps in obtaining the scan by direct observation of 
 the scanner console. The 50 scans that were acquired during the week o
 f the activity are anonymized and participants will interpret these st
 udies on their own time following the five days of onsite training. Af
 ter faculty review of the participants’ interpretation of these 50 s
 tudies and the other elements of the activity, a certificate documenti
 ng completion of the Level II and III requirements will be issued.\n\n
 WHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nThis activity is intended for physicians includin
 g cardiologists and radiologists who are currently in practice or are 
 in fellowship, seeking Level II competency training. For those who hav
 e already qualified for Level II, this added experience will meet the 
 case requirements for Level II.\n\nOBJECTIVES\n\nAfter attending this 
 activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:\n\n• Choo
 se patients appropriate for this imaging modality\n• Prepare patient
 s to obtain optimal study results\n• Optimize image reconstruction f
 or cardiac analyses\n• Use 3D workstation to visualize all aspects o
 f cardiac anatomy\n• Assess extent of coronary atherosclerosis and e
 valuate LV function\n\nACCREDITATION STATEMENT\n\nThe Johns Hopkins Un
 iversity School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council
  for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical educat
 ion for physicians.\n\nCREDIT DESIGNATION STATEMENT\n\nThe Johns Hopki
 ns University School of Medicine designates this educational activity 
 for a maximum of 41 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should o
 nly claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation i
 n the activity.\n\nFor more information visit https://community.radrou
