ABSTRACT

Introduction: opportunities for training in functional echocardiography (FE) in lower-middle-income countries are limited. The objective of our publication is to describe the experience of the FE course in Peru. Material and methods: 110 neonatologists participated in this course. The program was distributed in 7 theoretical hours and 6 practical hours, with personalized teaching strategies. At the end of the course, the satisfaction of the participants was evaluated. Results: most of the participants considered that the time devoted to the course was adequate and that all essential topics for FE training were addressed. Conclusions: the effective implementation of a FE course is possible, addressing the essential topics for training according to the consensus guidelines and in less time than the other antecedents. Our report serves as an antecedent of experience in the acquisition of FE skills through personalized teaching techniques, in contexts where there are barriers to continuous training.
