SUMMARY:Cardiac CT Practicum: The Total Experience
DESCRIPTION:Cardiac CT Practicum: The Total Experience\nApril 11-15, 2
 011\n\nCardiac CT Practicum\n\nPresented by\nJohns Hopkins University 
 School of Medicine\nOffice of Continuing Medical Education\n\nTo check
  availability and reserve your seat at this activity, please call Susa
 n Orr at 410-550-0845 or email: sorr@jhmi.edu.\n\nDESCRIPTION\n\nThe a
 ctivity is held monthly at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in
  Baltimore, Maryland, in a multimedia classroom constructed specifical
 ly for the learner’s needs. This is a workstation-based training act
 ivity, 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 activity and receives personal a
 ttention and instruction by the activity faculty. A workstation, which
  projects to the front of the room is used by instructors to demonstra
 te various aspects of CT interpretation. After receiving training on t
 he use of the workstation, a case library of over 150 cases selected t
 o demonstrate the variety of pathology, which 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 of the activity.\n\nTwenty hou
 rs of didactic instruction is included through lectures and reading ma
 terials, which will cover topics of patient selection, preparation, ra
 diation, contrast, cardiac anatomy, assessment of cardiac function, ca
 rdiac pathology, etc. Members of the Johns Hopkins faculty and guest f
 aculty will present these topics. Participants will take a quiz to con
 firm understanding of these materials.\n\nThe requirement for observat
 ion of the acquisition of 50 studies is satisfied by utilizing a combi
 nation of onsite observation of approximately 25 studies supplemented 
 by interactive observation of approximately 25 studies performed offsi
 te and viewed by interactive video link. Participants will have the op
 portunity to ask questions during acquisition of the studies (i.e., pa
 tient selection, use of beta blockers) and to observe the steps in obt
 aining the scan by direct observation of the scanner console. The 50 s
 cans that were acquired during the week of the activity are anonymized
  and participants will interpret these studies on their own time follo
 wing the five days of onsite training. After faculty review of the par
 ticipants’ interpretation of these 50 studies and the other elements
  of the activity, a certificate documenting completion of the Level II
  and III requirements will be issued.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nThis act
 ivity is intended for physicians including cardiologists and radiologi
 sts who are currently in practice or are in fellowship, seeking Level 
 II competency training. For those who have already qualified for Level
  II, this added experience will meet the case requirements for Level I
 I.\n\nOBJECTIVES\n\nAfter attending this activity, the participant wil
 l demonstrate the ability to:\n• Choose patients appropriate for thi
 s imaging modality\n• Prepare patients to obtain optimal study resul
 ts\n• Optimize image reconstruction for cardiac analyses\n• Use 3D
  workstation to visualize all aspects of cardiac anatomy\n• Assess e
 xtent of coronary atherosclerosis and evaluate LV function\n\nACCREDIT
 ATION STATEMENT\n\nThe Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is 
 accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Educati
 on to provide continuing medical education for physicians.\n\nCREDIT D
 ESIGNATION STATEMENT\n\nThe Johns Hopkins University School of Medicin
