We are making a campaign to have people sign up this week. Brochure is available here. Below is the registration link: https://mssm.cloud-cme.com/Imaging2023 [mssm.cloud-cme.com]
We would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in the Online Stanford Pediatric Cardiology Introductory Course. It is an online introductory course designed to introduce future fellows to basic areas of pediatric cardiology. The course is a series of short 10-15 minute videos designed to give you a foundation of a variety of concepts, subjects, and sub-specialty topics in pediatric cardiology. For example, one of the modules is a pediatric cardiac surgery video that includes a video of Frank Hanley placing a patient on cardiopulmonary bypass, describing the concepts and process of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross camp, injection of cardioplegia etc. There will also be pre and post knowledge assessments and a survey to determine if the modules were helpful and a good educational tool. The course has been offered to incoming pediatric cardiology fellows since 2018 and we have recently published on the educational benefits and positive effects of this course (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36440543/). The videos will be accessible via an online learning platform. Any pediatric cardiology fellows that will be starting fellowship July 2023 can register for the course by going to the following link: https://redcap.link/StanfordPedCard2023 The registration deadline is Friday APRIL 7th!! The course will likely be opened and available in April/May for all who sign up. An email will be sent to those that registered when the course is available. Please note that the modules are designed primarily for educational purposes, though we also want to scientifically evaluate the utility and benefits of the educational tools so we will also ask you to complete a follow-up test some time before or at the start fellowship the first weeks of July. Please note that all of the responses and testing results will remain anonymous and not shared with your programs. We hope that you will learn a lot from the modules and they can give you a jump start into fellowship! If you have an additional questions, you can reach out to Kara Motonaga at kmotonaga@stanford.edu. Kara Motonaga, MD, FHRS, CEPS-P Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics Associate Director, Pediatric and Congenital Arrhythmia Service Pediatric and Adult Congenital Cardiology and Electrophysiology email: kmotonaga@stanford.edu PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY FELLOWS’ PREPARATORY COURSE: The transition from a pediatric residency to a subspecialty fellowship can be physically, emotionally, and technically demanding. This transition is especially challenging in disciplines like pediatric cardiology that are highly procedural and technology driven, Trainees are immediately thrust into a field that has little overlap with their prior general pediatrics experience, and in three years are expected to understand the basics of echocardiography, heart failure and transplantation, cardiovascular intensive care, cardio-thoracic surgery, electrophysiology, adult congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac catheterization. To assist and better prepare trainees during this transition we have developed a novel online Pediatric Cardiology Fellows’ Preparatory Course to provide additional educational support prior to the start of formal fellowship training. The course consists of a pre-test, survey about pediatric cardiology, a series of video modules designed to provide a brief introduction to a wide array of topics in pediatric cardiology, and conclude with a post-test and survey. Module 1 - Normal Cardiac Anatomy Past Events
Please join us for our annual Mount Sinai Pediatric/Congenital Cardiac Imaging symposium on Friday May 20, 2022. This year the symposium will be virtual. Imaging the Left Heart - Conversations between Imagers and Surgeons This CME activity will focus on advanced imaging of congenital and acquired left heart disease in the fetus, child and adult. The performance of imaging and communication of imaging findings to surgeons and interventionalists will be highlighted, with special emphasis on practical aspects of imaging, and what is most important and relevant to patient care and outcomes. Talks by congenital cardiac imagers will be paired with talks by surgeons and interventionalists on lesions encompassing the mitral valve, left ventricular outflow tract, aortic valve, coronary arteries and aorta. Talks will be supplemented by discussion between the imager and surgeon/interventionalist with audience participation and clinical case presentations. Registration is FREE if you are not claiming CME credit! If you claim CME credit the registration fee is $50 (AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ - 5.50 hours) Please see the attached agenda for details on sessions and speakers. Register at: https://mssm.cloud-cme.com/Imaging2022 [mssm.cloud-cme.com] Hope you can make it! Posted January 28, 2020 Congenital Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance About the course We offer a 3-day CMR course directed towards Congenital Cardiac MRI and SCMR level 1 accreditation. Attendees will receive the theoretical part (teaching and cases). In line with SCMR training guidelines, for complete SCMR level I candidates will also be able to fulfill the practical element during this course, which includes live-case training with a SCMR level III accredited supervisor. Further information about the Cardiovascular MRI training accreditation pathways is available online on www.scmr.org The course will be ideal for radiographers and fellows in radiology or pediatric cardiology, as well as established congenital heart disease specialists. The aim of this course is to give a firm foundation in congenital heart disease MRI and provide training up to SCMR level 1 accreditation. The attendee can expect practical clinical teaching so that they can directly implement the training into their clinical practice. It is particularly relevant for congenital heart disease trainees wishing to complete their core imaging skills and for those wishing to start a career in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Radiographers will find this particularly helpful in terms of practical image acquisition and fundamental anatomical details for imaging. Established professionals will find this helpful to increase their knowledge with an emphasis on clinical application. Finally, the session will end with comprehensive case-based teaching, planning and assessment to ensure the attendee has a firm understanding of the fundamentals of cardiovascular imaging for congenital heart disease. It will also cover basics required for general cardiac MRI. Entry Requirements and fees •Attendance is open to physicians in training, MRI technicians, radiology trainees, pediatric cardiology trainees and professional with an interest in cardiovascular imaging. •The course will be provided for $60 for (cardiology or radiology) fellows in training and technicians. Attendees are responsible for their own travel and accommodation. For physicians/ faculty the cost of the course is $600 •To register please contact: Andi.Scarborough@UTSouthwestern.edu or Mohammad.Hussain@UTSouthwestern.edu For more information, please view the flyer. Posted January 28, 2020 6th Annual Pediatric Cardiology Boot Camp We are pleased to announce that we will be holding our 6th Annual Pediatric Cardiology Boot Camp for incoming first-year Pediatric Cardiology fellows at the Li Ka Shing Center for Immersive and Simulation Based Learning at Stanford University School of Medicine on May 30 - June 1, 2020. Last year we were excited to again receive over 100 applications for the 40 spots, and we welcomed future fellows from over 30 Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Programs! The feedback from the Boot Camp was again overwhelmingly positive. We are planning to once again provide this Boot Camp free of charge to your trainees. Below is a link to our Boot Camp website and program flier is attached. Boot Camp Information Website: http://med.stanford.edu/pedcard/education/fellowship-boot-camp-program.html [med.stanford.edu] Boot Camp Enrollment Site: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/933b01ebc24a4a6d8994616526bd818b [app.smartsheet.com] If you would like to give your future trainees (fellows scheduled to start in your training program in July 2020) the option to participate in Boot Camp, please send them the link above to register. Please ask your trainees to apply by February 1, 2020. They can also address any questions to ceresnak@stanford.edu or lupe.romero@stanford.edu. Fellows would also be open to enroll in our online Pediatric Cardiology Fellows' Preparatory Course. This year we will again be extending an invitation to other programs to be co-sponsors. Co-sponsors last year included: Nationwide Children’s, Colorado Children’s, UCSD-Rady Children's, and Mt. Sinai (Kravis Children’s). Co-sponsorship would involve a financial commitment from the institution and would include guaranteed attendance for all incoming first-year fellows from that institution. We would also include guest faculty members from other sponsoring programs, recognition of the program at the Boot Camp, and other institutional incentives. As we continue to expand this experience in future years, we would love to involve other institutions in the Boot Camp program. If your program would be interested in being a co-sponsor please let me know. Thank you again and please do not hesitate to contact us with any additional questions.

SPIN, the Subspecialty Pediatrics Investigator Network, would like to invite you to participate in the next SPIN study, “Longitudinal Evaluation of the Required Level of Supervision for Pediatric Fellows.” This study will build upon two earlier SPIN studies. With your help, we will obtain assessments of all fellows in your program longitudinally utilizing level of supervision scales for all of the common and subspecialty-specific EPAs. This study has multiple goals including determining whether graduating fellows are meeting the previously defined minimum levels of supervision, if the time required to meet these levels differs among the subspecialties and obtaining validity evidence for the subspecialty and scholarship EPAs level of supervision scales. We will also compare fellow self-assessment with those made by the CCC. Data collection will begin with the Fall 2018 CCC meeting in which milestone levels are assigned and continue twice annually for a total of 3 years. This investigation is very similar to SPIN’s first study except that we are only collecting milestone data for the scholarship EPA so that the CCC time commitment should be substantially less. Only ONE IRB application is needed per site and we will provide an IRB kit and assist in obtaining approval (which should be an exemption). All FPDs that provide data will be considered collaborators on manuscripts. In addition, MOC Part IV Credit (highly likely but pending formal ABP approval) should be available for FPDs that provide data for at least 3 data collection periods. Additional information about SPIN and this study is provided in the link below. Please consider joining us in this important collaborative investigation.

Mt. Sinai is Hosting an exciting, innovative 14th Annual Symposium, Conversations in Care: The Right Heart, on Saturday, May 20th, 2023. Instead of typical PowerPoints, it is a collection of five in-person conversations between imagers and surgeons/interventionalists discussing exactly what the proceduralist needs and what the imager can provide. It is very interactive, a great learning opportunity, and a nice chance to network with leaders from the region and nationally.
