The Leader in Cardiac CT Education
COVID-19 UPDATE--We have just completed the 16th year of the Johns Hopkins Cardiac CT Practicum. All courses since mid-March 2020 have been held with a unique virtual format to meet the challenges posed by the pandemic. All lectures and interactive sessions are held live, using Zoom. Participants are equipped with cloud based workstations which have all the capabilites of advanced local workstations but can be run from the users home or work-based platform. All scheduled courses through June 2022 will be structured in this way. Nobody knows what the fall semester will bring.
BOARD ELIGIBILITY UPDATE--Since July 2020 the CBCCT has required a much greater number of cases (250) for board eligibility. We have accomplished this without compromising our well known clinical and multimodality correlations, by extending our hours (8:30AM to 7:30PM) for the one week of scheduled activities, and by reviewing additional cases during a series of flexible "office hours" during the week following the course. The intense nature of this course has become more demanding with the new requirements! Please be prepared to spend additional time interpreting these cases in the weeks following the course to assure your eligibility for Level II verification and the CBCCT board examination.
Cardiac CT has been utilized as a clinical, research, and teaching tool at Johns Hopkins since February, 2003, with first 16, then 32, 64, and now 320 detector scanners in use at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and Johns Hopkins Hospital. We have gathered a broad experience in CT image acquisition and interpretation, and have imaged thousands of patients with a wide range of indications and findings. CT research at Johns Hopkins has focused on clinical correlations, image acquisition techniques, plaque imaging, perfusion, viability, and other issues. Active CT teaching programs have been ongoing since late 2003; the faculty has developed expertise in teaching techniques of CT interpretation and has trained over 2000 physicians in a wide variety of programs meeting criteria for ACC/AHA Level I, II, and III certification.
