Description:
This program will be heavily focused on how to performance and interpretation of stress CMR using a case-based learning approach along with ample opportunities to directly interpret stress CMR images on a workstation. This program is designed to help participants master how to perform stress CMR.
Physician Practice Gap:
Currently there is a lack of educational resources to prepare physicians on how to perform and interpret stress CMR. Utilizing CMR one will get more definitive, relevant, and actionable answers because a CMR exam provides comprehensive information and has superior diagnostic and prognostic power, without the need for radiation.
Needs that Underlie the Gap
There is a need to provide educational support to physicians to overcome the barrier of inadequate knowledge and skills to perform stress CMR.
DESIGNED to Change/Outcome: Following this activity, learners will develop competence by increasing their knowledge through a combination of hands-on learning, didactic lectures, panel discussions, case-based activities, and demonstration of equipment/techniques.
