Neonatal performed echocardiography course: Can we face it?

Objective: To evaluate students' qualification after a six-month basic course of Neonatal Performed Echocardiography (NPEcho), adjusted by the motivational profile.

Study Design: Prospective cohort of 16 neonatologists/neonatal fellows who underwent the basic NPEcho course in 2019 (18 h face-to-face theoretical classes; 36 h hands-on training) and 12 in 2020 (18 h online theoretical classes; 36 h hands-on training). Students' qualification was defined as ≥70% in post-test, video test, and practical evaluation in neonates.
