Building the Next Generation of Paediatric Cardiac Care

Why We Teach

Sharpening the Doctors Who See These Children First

The most effective way to change outcomes is not to train more specialists — it is to sharpen the skills of the doctors who see these children first. A neonatologist who can perform a functional echo at the cot side, or a paediatrician who recognises the pattern of a significant murmur, changes outcomes for every child they will ever see.

Neonatal Functional Echo Course

Attended by 250+ doctors from India and abroad · Online and offline

Functional echocardiography in the newborn is about physiology as much as anatomy. This course teaches the practical skill of assessing a sick or premature baby's circulation at the bedside, and using what you see to guide immediate management — fluids, inotropes, respiratory support, ductal decisions.

Who it is for: Neonatologists, paediatricians and cardiologists working with newborns

What It Covers
Standard views and image acquisition in the newborn
Assessing cardiac output and filling
Evaluating the ductus arteriosus
Recognising pulmonary hypertension
Distinguishing normal transitional circulation from pathology
Integrating echo findings with the clinical picture
Recognising congenital heart disease and knowing when to escalate

What It Covers
Cardiac examination in children and murmur assessment
