eCourse Module 13 - Test-Taking Strategies
The ability to perform well on a multiple choice test is a skill that requires both fore-thought and practice. In this module, some very unique techniques are taught which will significantly change your test taking approach, as well as improve your test taking abilities. Within this module we will discuss concepts which include how best to read a test question, how to approach answering a test question, types of questions, distracter types, dealing with questions of inversion, logic and reasoning skills, and intelligent use of scrap paper. Additionally, specific test questions are given which allow for direct application of these concepts.
Adult Echocardiography Dedicated Lectures
The perfect combination - the individualized attention and interaction of a seminar without associated travel costs. Small groups can customize their lecture topic and lecture dates to eliminate the time, cost and hassle of travel. Need to prepare your group for a credentialing exam? Need CME credits? Want to introduce a new technology into your laboratory? We have the answer and will bring the solution to you.
The highly-anticipated NEW Third Edition of The Echocardiographer's Pocket Reference is now available and has been thoroughly updated. It now includes the new American Society of Echocardiography recommendations for wall segments and coronary artery distribution, chamber quantification including the left atrium and left ventricle and new recommendations for the evaluation of valvular regurgitation. There is an expanded how-to section, additional two-dimensional images, inclusion of tissue Doppler imaging, myocardial strain imaging, cardiac resynchronization therapy and real time three -dimensional echocardiography. A new peripheral vascular section has been added written by Gail P. Size and Troy Russo. A must have for any sonographer involved in Adult Echocardiography!

Cardiovascular Principles: A Registry Exam Prep Guide
This cardiovascular principles guidebook represents three years of Terry Reynold's classroom registry examination presentations at the Arizona School of Cardiac Ultrasound. The strength of this guide is that it takes the cardiovascular principles examination outline and breaks it down into its smallest components, thoroughly discusses each component, and then concludes each section with practice review and board review examination questions. Units of study include anatomy of the heart, basic embryology, congenital defects, cardiac physiology, cardiac evaluation methods, and principles of cardiac hemodynamics. The Cardiovascular Principles "At a Glance" section provides a condensation of the pertinent material, and the Cardiovascular Principles 500 section provides a challenging final test.

Essentials of Echocardiography and Cardiac Hemodynamics, 3rd Edition
This third edition is an updated combination of Mark Harry's critically acclaimed Basic Echocardiography Workbook and Cardiac Doppler Hemodynamic Workbook. This cardiac text provides a basic overview of instrumentation, cardiac anatomy, M-mode, 2D, and spectral Doppler principles. Additionally, this text is also designed to provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art Doppler methods for assessment of right heart pressures, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, LV diastolic filling, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and much more. This book focuses on the practical day-to-day application of Doppler methods. High quality black and white illustrations and Doppler tracings are used to illustrate Doppler methods and present case studies with questions and answers for review. The second edition includes a brand new chapter on LV Optimization.

ASCeXAM Simulation CD
Developed jointly between Pegasus Lectures, Inc. and the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), this DVD is designed to provide an efficient way of preparing for the ASCeXAM by delivering a customized study plan so you won't spend time studying material you know! The DVD begins with a full tutorial on test-taking strategies designed to improve your test-taking skills overall. Next, you are asked to take a timed, full-length exam consisting of a three-hour multiple choice section and a two-hour video module. At the end of the exam, an intelligent patented analysis package delivers hundreds of details as to your specific areas of content strengths and weaknesses. In addition, it provides information as to your test taking skills showing you how you can become a better test-taker. Unlimited access is also available to review each question, how you answered, the correct answer and a detailed explanation as to why. Prior to taking the next exam, it is recommended, that you spend time studying the material where you are weak. Once you feel confident with the material, you can move on to the second exam and follow the same steps. After working through the second exam and analysis, you can retake the exams(16) following the same process until you feel fully prepared for the registry exam. By using the ASCeXAM DVD to prepare, you will have studied the right material and have spent your limited study time wisely.
In addition to preparing physicians for the ASCeXAM, this DVD is also designed for physicians and sonographers desiring to improve their knowledge of Adult Echocardiography and physicians and sonographers needing to fulfill their continuing medical education requirements.
