About

Baptist Health CME organized the 43rd annual edition of this symposium, which was billed as teaching core echocardiography and multimodality imaging skills. Content was pitched at newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike, with cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, sonographers, cardiologists and emergency and critical care physicians among the intended audience. The American Society of Echocardiography endorsed the program. Its premise was that valve disease and structural heart therapies now occupy a larger place in cardiology.

It took place October 2–3, 2026.

It was held at Loews Coral Gables Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida.

The organizer listed sonographers, sonography students, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, ED physicians, and critical care physicians as intended attendees.

It was most useful for sonographers, cardiologists and anesthesiologists who wanted practical grounding in echocardiography and multimodality imaging, since the program was aimed at both beginners and experienced practitioners and the faculty was billed as including speakers from Mayo Clinic, NYU Langone Health and Houston Methodist Hospital. The endorsement by the American Society of Echocardiography made it a sensible pick for fellows and sonography students, while physicians outside cardiac imaging would have gotten less from it.

Clinicians at CME symposia usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, with a layer for chilled ballrooms, which suits a South Florida hotel.
