HEARTscan proves very popular

Name change for School of Enterprise
The School of Enterprise (SoE) is a subsiduary of the University of Melbourne and has recently undergone a name change to Melbourne Consultancy and Custom Programs (MCCP). However, the web address and other contact details remain the same http://www.soe.unimelb.edu.au
Redevelopment of the web site
The whole web site is being redeveloped from a database generated web page site to a Dreamweaver site. Many of the existing links to pages have been broken and will be updated over the next few weeks. The original pages including the online tutorial for the Echocardiography Database remain intact and will work from within the database program.
Videos of echocardiography available in a variety of formats
These relate to chapters of the Pocket Guide to Perioperative and Critical Care Echocardiography. See the Table of Contents. See the Videos.
Postoperative Orders sheets
Postoperative orders guidelines for the early ICU management following coronary or valve surgery; and the High Thoracic Epidural Analgesia (HTEA) management following cardiac or thoracic surgery.
Diploma of Echocardiography moves to SOE
The administering organisation has changed at Melbourne University from the School of Medicine to the School of Enterprise. This has allowed a more streamlined administrative process as well as the reduction of fees for interntional students to a level marginally above local Australasian students.
New Hands On courses
Following the very successful Point of Care ultrasound course, two new more focussed courses have just commenced. These are the ultrasound guided nerve block and vascular access course and the HEARTscan course. The first of the HEARTscan courses will be conducted in Melbourne in November 2007, and the following two courses are now fully enrolled.
New Presentations
Two new presentations from the 2007 ASCTS conference in Noosa are available in PowerPoint or Flash video format. There are two supplementary download files for the Kaplan Meier presentation also available and links to the ulnar artery atheroma study.
