The Alfred ICU Echocardiography faculty is proud to present the “Alfred Comprehensive Critical Care Echocardiography (ACCCE) course” created specifically for the critical care doctor wishing to advance their transthoracic echocardiography skills and knowledge beyond a basic level 1 study. The course syllabus is primarily case based, with a series of lectures, practical scanning and dynamic interactive tutorials designed to articulate the concepts necessary for comprehensive image interpretation and to stimulate critical thinking.

The Adult Foundation ECMO Course is designed for doctors, nurses, perfusionists, and allied health professionals seeking to develop a foundational understanding of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the management of patients with severe cardiac and respiratory failure. The course has been endorsed by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) as an Adult Comprehensive Simulation-Based Course, meeting Step 1 and Step 2 criteria for E-AEC accreditation. The program is tailored to a broad range of clinicians, from those with little or no prior ECMO experience to those who have been involved in the care of ECMO patients. It provides comprehensive coverage of key aspects of ECMO practice, including underlying physiology, patient selection, and the management of complications and emergencies.
