Pragmatic approach for the diagnosis of CHD.

The must course for every fetal medicine and ultrasound professional, obstetricians and fetal medicine midwives and sonographers. Our updated seminar and masterclass is designed to deliver a universal approach to screening and detection of fetal cardiac anomalies in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters.

The course is based on extensive clinical experience, comprehensive research of current literature and evidence based knowledge.

Our promise: No boring stuff; just videos, live masterclass, updated reviews of important CHD and discussions.
