The second fetal echocardiography symposium at UCLA will provide a detailed, clinically oriented series of state-of-the-art presentations directed toward health-care professionals involved with fetal cardiac screening (low-risk pregnancies) or detailed fetal echocardiography (high-risk pregnancies). This second symposium will emphasize the basics of fetal cardiac imaging and evaluation, with an expanded, internationally acclaimed faculty from multiple disciplines-maternal-fetal medicine, radiology, pediatric cardiology, obstetric sonography and nursing. Through didactic and practical presentations, as well as live scanning sessions, attendees will improve their competence in fetal cardiac imaging, learning how to optimize image quality, how to scan and evaluate the normal fetal heart, and how to evaluate abnormalities of the four chamber view and outflow tracts. The symposium will also provide formal, state-of-the-art presentations on clinically-oriented first trimester fetal cardiac imaging, clinical applications of 3D/4D fetal cardiac imaging, and clinically relevant psychological aspects of fetal cardiac imaging. Opportunities for questions and discussion will be provided. Target Audience The target audience of this second fetal echocardiography symposium is health care professionals involved with scanning the fetal heart, either for screening low risk pregnancies or for performing detailed fetal echocardiography in high-risk pregnancies. The symposium is aimed specifically towards physician (obstetricians, perinatologists, radiologists, pediatric cardiologists, and neonatologists), obstetric/cardiac sonographers, obstetric/neonatal nurses, and physicians/sonographers in training.

At the conclusion of this one-day symposium, participants will have gained a greater understanding of the following areas:
The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA designates this live activity for a maximum of 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The FDA has issued a concept paper which classifies commercial support of scientific and educational programs as promotional unless it can be affirmed that the program is "truly independent" and free of commercial influence. In addition to independence, the FDA requires that nonpromotional, commercially supported education be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous. The policy further states that all potential conflicts of interest of the CME staff and faculty be fully disclosed to the program's participants. In addition, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education policy now mandates that the provider adequately manages all identified potential conflicts of interest prior to the program. We at UCLA fully endorse the letter and spirit of these concepts.
