The Phoenix Children's 14th Annual Fetal Cardiology Symposium includes a four-day educational conference (General Sessions are from Nov 8-10, 2024) that explores important concepts in congenital heart disease and advances in imaging, diagnosis and management of fetal cardiac abnormalities. For an additional purchase, there are also several pre-conference options on Nov 7, 2024. In addition to evaluation and management of fetal cardiac disease, there will be sessions focused on origins of heart disease, neurodevelopment and challenges in prenatal counseling. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit and present challenging cases of fetal cardiac disease in the Norman H. Silverman: The Case That Gave Me Chest Pain competition. Attendees are also invited to submit original research abstracts for oral presentation. Three pre-conference tracks will be offered on Thursday, Nov 7, 2024: The 4th Annual Advanced Fetal Imaging: Ultrasound & MRI Course, chaired by Dr. Luis Goncalves, will focus on state-of-the-art fetal imaging of cardiac and extra-cardiac anomalies. The Pathologic Specimen and Fetal Echo Review Course, co-chaired by Ms. Diane Spicer and Dr. Ericka McLaughlin, will display pathologic congenital heart specimens and correlating fetal echo imaging enhancing the educational opportunity and understanding of basic congenital heart disease. The Hands-on Fetal Echo Learning Lab, chaired by Drs. Rob Puntel and Michael Nguyen, provides the opportunity to scan live pregnant models, alongside expert sonographers and physicians. Additional sonographer focused didactic teaching on enhancing your fetal echo imaging. There is a limited number of tickets to this session. Lectures, interactive case study and panel discussion formats will focus on expanding evidence-based care management strategies for clinical decision making. Speakers are nationally and internationally prominent experts, which creates an authoritative learning venue for fetal cardiology and fetal imaging. This symposium is designed for physicians, including pediatric cardiologists, maternal fetal medicine specialists, obstetricians, neonatologists, radiologists, geneticists, pathologists, sonographers, nurses, other paramedical colleagues and trainees.
