Sonographers as Teachers of Pediatric Echocardiography: A Cross-Sectional Needs Assessment among Four Academic Pediatric Cardiac Centers.
Journal article Pediatr Cardiol · October 2026 Pediatric cardiac sonographers spend significant time teaching echocardiography. How prepared sonographers are for this crucial role remains unknown. We sought to understand current sonographer knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in teaching pediatric car ...
