EAE Core Syllabus

Providing adequate education is one of the main goals of the mission of the European Association of Echocardiography (EAE).

Echocardiography is able to provide an impressive amount of information from different modalities (M-mode, two- and three-dimensional, Doppler), approaches (transthoracic-TTE, transesophageal-TEE, intravascular, epicardial), and applications (e.g. stress and contrast echocardiography), but needs an adequate training of operators to be performed in a cost effective and reliable way.

The purpose of producing a Core Syllabus (PDF file) is to lay out the range of knowledge that the EAE expect the European echocardiographer to possess. This document represents a driving force for the EAE to deliver educational resources  to assist echocardiographers in achieving accreditation and perform comprehensive and accurate echocardiographic studies.
