Prep for the National Board of Echocardiography ASCeXAM.
And continue lifelong learning.
Six domains. Six learning loops. Built around how echocardiographers actually study — physics drilling, cine-loop interpretation, quantification sims, and full timed mocks against the NBE blueprint.
Knowledge domains NBE ASCeXAM blueprint
Physical Principles & Instrumentation
Ultrasound physics, Doppler, transducers, artifacts, quantification methods. The domain that rewards dedicated drilling because it isn't reinforced in the lab.
Domain 2 · ~25–30%Valvular Heart Disease
Stenosis and regurgitation severity grading for all four native valves and prosthetics. The largest single content bucket on the exam.
Domain 3 · ~15–20%Chamber Size & Function
Systolic and diastolic function across all four chambers. EF by Simpson's, strain imaging, diastolic grading, RV assessment.
Domain 4 · ~10–15%Congenital Heart Disease (Adult)
Adult congenital lesions and post-surgical anatomy: ASD/VSD, ToF, single-ventricle / Fontan, coarctation, BAV-associated aortopathy.
Domain 5 · ~10–15%Cardiac Masses & Pericardial Disease
Thrombi vs tumours vs vegetations. Pericardial effusion, tamponade physiology, constrictive vs restrictive haemodynamics.
Domain 6 · ~10–15%Miscellaneous Clinical Topics
Contrast echo, aortic disease, stress echo, ICU/emergency echo, special populations. The catch-all that ties exam content to bedside practice.
Learning loops Pick a mode — any domain, any time
MCQ Bank
NBE-style multiple choice with immediate rationale and references. Filter by domain or subtopic.
Echo Cases
Cine loops with clinical stem. Identify the finding, then reveal diagnosis & teaching. Echo's image-first differentiator.
Flashcards
Leitner-style spaced repetition for high-yield facts — valve gradients, normal ranges, equation forms, threshold values.
Mock Exam
Timed, NBE-weighted full-length ASCeXAM mock. Build stamina. See your domain breakdown at the end.
Quantification Sims
Interactive sims for Doppler angle, Bernoulli, continuity, PISA. Hands-on physics practice without a probe in your hand.
Live & Recorded Sessions
Connect a YouTube or Zoom lecture — noon conference, ASE Scientific Sessions, recorded board review — capture the transcript, file under the matching NBE domain.
CME Tracker
Track AMA PRA Cat 1/2 credits, NBE recertification activities, and state requirements. Lifelong learning, from fellowship onward.
