Three blocks every year. Two fellows per block.
Fellows are responsible for Dobutamine Echo procedures, Trans-esophageal echo, and Echo with bubble/contrast. They also try to pre-read transthoracic echo studies before they read together with the attending in the afternoon.
With the help of highly experienced lab technicians and faculty, this rotation is essential to learn how to perform a standard transthoracic echo study with all views and how to optimally operate the machines.
