I highly recommend this course for anyone who is at all interested in cardiac CT. Well worth the cost. |
| 06/20/2014 |
|
| Comment: | Absolutely fantastic course. Well worth the price. Dr. Shapiro and Bush are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining teachers. I started with no knowledge at all about CT, and came away feeling prepared enough to take the CT boards and perform CTA, not to mention incorporating the modality more frequently into my practice. |
| 06/20/2014 |
|
| Comment: | The course offers a mostly complete overview of cardiac CT for beginners, which also seems to serves as a good way to prepare for the board exam -- granted that I have not taken this exam yet. Course content, while not always perfectly organized, does cover the essential components and excels most in the area where it should: practical considerations for acquiring and analyzing these studies. There is ample opportunity for hands-on learning and one-on-one Q&A, which is another major strength of the course. There are no major areas of deficiency. |
| 06/20/2014 |
|
| Comment: | Well worth it.. Dr.Shapiro and Dr.Bush are great teacher and it was fun. |

|
| Comment: | The CT Practicum at JHU is an excellent 5 day course. Being a novice at cardiac CT and calcium scoring, I arrived at the course with no real knowledge of the technique and capabilities of the procedure. The course really explains every aspect of coronary CTA and calcium scoring. The material is presented in a very hands-on manner, with the majority of time rightfully spent reading cases and learning how to manipulate the images and software (in which there is a tremendous learning curve). The material was also presented in a way that would allow for cardiology (noninvasive or interventional) or radiology to successfully understand and utilize the technique. I would recommend this course to any cardiologist, cardiology fellow, or radiologist who is interested in coronary CTA or calcium scoring. |

| Comment: | Great course - you have your own workstation which means you can work at your own rate. Good change of pace. Good spread of cases. Small class size so individual attention and ability to cope with the differing needs of the participants. Would benefit from having an accopanying e-textbook, although the written material is apt and helpful. |

| Comment: | This course was a great experience. I was impressed with the plethora of richly illustrative cases, and the concise explanation of the practical concepts and issues of Cardiac CT by the course mentors, particularly Drs Bush and Shapiro, who are deeply knowledgeable in the field. I would gladly attend this course again as a refresher, and would not hesitate to recommend it to a colleague. |

| Comment: | Excellent course in all ways! Comprehensive and fun. The instructors are national or international experts in a variety of fields. The case bank is phenomenal and includes multimodality images that allows for clinical correlation. Registration was easy and organization is great for a small group (<15 people). Individual attention is always available, and the course attitude is really collegial. |

|
| Comment: | The course is run by Drs. Bush and Shapiro. They are both extraordinarily gifted teachers. The course is extremely good; it was the best Cardiac CT Course I have ever taken. The massive amount of preparation done by the course organizers shows. The case selection, discussions, didactic sessions are all superb. The course logistics and user-friendly course features [transportation, meals, workstation facilities] are all also second to none. I recommend this highly either as a first course or as a refresher for anyone who has been doing this for sometime, and who wants to "see how the experts do it". Either way, you will come away tremendously enriched. |

| Comment: | excellent cases, with interesting discussion of future directions of the field. there was a good mix of theory and practice with more emphasis on the latter. the independent evaluation of cases was helpful with comparison later with "official reads". we did five of these but I would encourage 2 sessions of this as I found it very helpful. |
