CSE Pillars
Education Pillar Committee
One of the main pillars of the CSE is to lead education initiatives including:
- CME delivered through CSE Echo Weekend and CCC spotlight sessions and workshops, and hosting of regional or topic focused sessions/webinars;
- development of content for sonographer and echocardiographer trainee curricula through organization of vast archived resources and creation of new content as needed; and
- establish national sharing of current echocardiographic educational information through online Journal Clubs, CSE website, social media platforms, and collaboration with international sibling partner organizations to link to relevant approved educational content.
To accomplish this, the CSE has constituted the CSE Education Committee.
The mission of the Committee is to promote and facilitate high quality education in the fields of echocardiography and cardiovascular ultrasound through translation, and mobilization (delivery) of knowledge to echocardiographic practitioners with the goal of optimizing patient care and clinical outcomes.
