Echo Committee

Echo Hong Kong 2013 was conducted successfully from 21 to 24 November 2013 (with 2 days conference and 2 days workshop). 40 HKCA members / fellows participated in the event with sponsor from the College. After attending the event, feedback from participants were generally positive. Most of the participants deemed that the event was very informative, rewarding and useful, though it may be a bit difficult for new learner of echocardiography. They were particularly impressed by the workshop session, which provided basic echo knowledge and practical tips during the interactive case studies. The sharing of case scenarios as an open forum during the workshop was also intriguing. Participants were happy to have subsidies from the College and would recommend College to consider providing more sponsorship quota of similar events in the future.
