IUM Practical Fetal Heart Screening: The Five Essential Views 2024 (Videos + Slides) is an advanced training course designed to enhance prenatal detection of congenital heart disease (CHD). Through a focused review of the five critical cardiac views in fetal ultrasound, this program teaches evidence-based scanning techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy. Clinicians, sonographers, and obstetric specialists will benefit from expert lectures, live demonstrations, and supporting slide material. The content is delivered digitally—videos and slides—for flexible review.

This course is rooted in the live AIUM / Tiny Hearts Project event and aligns with professional ultrasound teaching standards.
