The 2017 SCA Echo Week


Bruce Hugh Dorman, MD, PhD, leads a distinguished career in the field of anesthesiology as an educator, researcher, and practitioner. Dr. Bruce Hugh Dorman is a member of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA). With close to 5,000 thoracic, vascular, and cardiac anesthesiologist members, the global organization advocates advancement of the practice and its subspecialties. 

The society will be holding its 20th Annual SCA Comprehensive Review and Update of Perioperative Echocardiography May 21-26, 2017, at Loews Atlanta Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. This is a four-and-a-half day interdisciplinary course sponsored by SCA on the foundation and use of echocardiography. The program has been created to address the continuing need for education on the use of ultrasound science as a basic diagnostic procedure and as a perioperative cardiac performance monitor.

The event, which also features an exhibit, will allow participants to update, expand, and review their know-how of perioperative echocardiography as well as participate in intimate educational sessions to examine current and complex issues, among other activities. It also affords attendees the opportunity to connect with internationally acknowledged experts in the ultrasound field.
