Include: 2 videos + 1 pdf, size: 27.7 GB
 Target Audience: cardiologists, radiologists
Information:

Join us for the 2025 CMR Board Exam Review Course.  The CMR Certification Examination Preparatory Course organized by SCMR, is intended to align to the objectives for a new physician certification in cardiovascular magnetic resonance
(CMR) launched by the Alliance for Physician Certification & Advancement™ (APCA™).

The Certification Board of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CBCMR) examination assesses candidates on their knowledge, skills and abilities in preparing patients for CMR studies, selecting appropriate protocols, conducting CMR studies
in a spectrum of scenarios and interpreting the results, and performing post-processing tasks. For more information regarding the examination, please visit here.

The 2025 CMR Board Exam Review Course by the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) is designed for:

🩺 Physicians preparing for the CBCMR certification exam This includes cardiologists, radiologists, and other medical professionals aiming to demonstrate proficiency in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.

🎓 Trainees and fellows in cardiovascular imaging Those currently in training who want a structured, comprehensive review of CMR principles and clinical applications.

📚 Clinicians seeking to deepen their CMR expertise Even if not taking the exam, the course is valuable for practitioners who want to enhance their diagnostic and interpretive skills in CMR.

💡 The course aligns with the objectives of the Certification Board of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CBCMR) and covers:

• Patient preparation and safety
• Protocol selection and performance
• Interpretation of ischemic and nonischemic heart disease
• Post-processing techniques
