摘要

Success in pediatric cardiology fellowship requires a firm foundation in both the performance and interpretation of echocardiography. Recognizing this need, our institution introduced an “Echo Boot Camp” in 2009 to prepare incoming pediatric cardiology fellows for their first on-call echocardiograms and clinical experiences managing congenital heart disease. In this article, we describe the evolution of our institution’s echo boot camp over the past 17 years. We detail lessons learned, key elements, and technologies incorporated along the way to improve the educational experience. By sharing the history and essential components of our echo boot camp, we aim to provide a framework for other pediatric cardiology fellowships to construct or add to their own boot camps with many possible points of entry.
