The SCA-On-CUE Level 2 offers a more advanced application and diagnostic level of echocardiography knowledge.
Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA)
The Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) is an international member organization with cardiac, thoracic and vascular anesthesiologists that promotes excellence in clinical care, education, and research.
The SCA have collaborated with iTeachU to deliver to its members the SCA-On-Cue (Online Clinical Ultrasound and Echocardiography) Level 1 and Level 2 Course to physicians around the world. These comprehensive courses offer echocardiography (TTE and TEE) and other uses of clinical ultrasound including vascular access, lung ultrasound, ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia, FAST and DVT assessment.

Also, SCA in conjunction with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and iTeachU have collaborated to deliver the Basic Perioperative TEE program. This training and accreditation program complies with the provisions set out by the National Board of Echocardiography.
Testimonials – Basic Perioperative TEE Program
“I finished residency over 15 years ago. This program has been one of the best educational opportunities I had the honor to be a part of since that time. Thank you. The chapter on hemodynamics is one of the best written chapters I’ve read in quite a long time-succinct, informative and practical.” – Dr Joe Arndt
“I must admit that when I was finally able to access the tutorials I found them very informative. The topics were presented in a very easy to understand and retain format. This was supported by the structure of the assessments. I had “fun” doing this course and learned a bit in the process. I really liked the fact all of the echo studies were not perfect. This certainly mimics real life in that either because of body habitus or viewing conditions we cannot always have perfect studies. Thank you for your help in getting this going. I would definitely recommend this course to others.” – Dr Steven Schmidt
SCA-On-Cue Subject 5: Advanced Anatomy and Doppler Analysis
The SCA-On-CUE subject 5 tutorials introduce building block tutorials related to safety and care of TEE probes. More advanced anatomy and Doppler application are covered, as well as a calculations workshop tutorial. Learn about advanced reporting using our reporting database for comprehensive reporting.
SCA-On-CUE Subject 6: Advanced Valve and Aortic Pathology
The SCA-On-CUE subject 6 systematically goes through the advanced assessment of all the valves, including prothetic valve assessment.
SCA-On-CUE Subject 7: Applications of Echocardiography
The SCA-On-CUE subject 7 emphasises the application of echocardiography in clinical situations.
SCA-On-CUE Subject 8: Advanced Echocardiography Interpretation
The SCA-On-CUE subject 8 integrates all the skills and knowledge learned. This subject offers 50 comprehensive case studies centered on five themes.
SCA Micro Package 1: Basic Clinical Ultrasound Modules
This is a targeted educational package for practitioners that will give them the detailed knowledge required to become competent at clinical ultrasound and echocardiography.
SCA Micro Package 2: Regional, Lung and Vascular Modules
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
SCA Micro Package 3: TTE Echocardiography Modules
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
SCA Micro Package 4: TEE Echocardiography Modules
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
