Time (f)or Competency 2020-08-03 .txt text/plain 1461 80 36 Linked with time spent in training, appropriately robust experience to develop expertise requires repeated exposure to and performance of tasks essential to the skill over that time-amounts of consults/evaluations, accumulation of procedures, numbers of echocardiograms. 1 Levels of training from most basic echocardiographic knowledge (level I) to most advanced knowledge suitable for an echocardiography lab director (level III) are clearly defined by duration of echo-specific training as well as specified numbers of procedures (transthoracic, transesophageal, and stress echocardiography) performed by the trainee. The document is unique in its greater focus on delineating strategies for the evaluation of competency, in addition to recommended numbers of advanced echo techniques and procedures performed. It recognized that the endorsed volumes for specific advanced echo techniques and procedural guidance to achieve level III have been developed by the expert committee consensus, in consultation with echocardiography training authorities across the country. ./cache/cord-329388-defbarkz.txt ./txt/cord-329388-defbarkz.txt
