My 11 year old son just saw me studying for CT boards recert - he said why do they keep making you take boards? didnt you pass them already? Then he said why do they make you take them ? "Oh i know, because they want to charge you money" So obvious everyone knows...

🔥🔥 Looking for enthusiastic applicants for Advanced Structural Echocardiography Fellowship (1 position) for the 2022-2023 academic year. One of the busiest structural programs in the country with every imaginable procedure. Apply at link below 👇🤩
Need momentum on this. I have held 6 board exams at once . Have had to just finish my first recert cycle which felt like a fellowship and now i am on vacation until 2029 - except i have a 150% full time schedule along with personal obligations (like seeing my kids). None of this
Here’s hoping other societies step up for their members and reduce the burden of the multitude of recertification tests in imaging modalities. Seriously folks a board exam for each imaging test?!? Once is enough. Let’s give our time and energy to the imaging societies not 3rd
It's tiiime. We are recruiting for 2025-2026

Advanced imaging fellowship for 2025-26- see details in attachment. Wide variety of clinical and research applications. Post cardiology graduates preferred. No J1 support (sorry - rules outside of our control).
You only get one heart — and it deserves the best. St. Francis Heart Center isn’t just the top place for care for it on Long Island — it’s one of the best in the nation, with the highest standard of cardiac care for Long Island communities.

TEE is not just a modality, like "call TEE into the room" . TEE is an object whereas there is a skilled echocardiographer that comes with it.
