Paul M. Weinberg Congenital Cardiac Morphology Course

Tuesday, October 12, 2021, 9:00 AM - Saturday, October 16, 2021, 4:00 PM, Virtual

This is a four-day virtual course with the option for a fifth day, in person hands-on experience and is designed to be a comprehensive examination of the morphology of congenital heart disease. The course was created and led by Paul M. Weinberg, MD, renowned cardiac morphologist, for eight years. In the course’s ninth year, Dr. Weinberg’s colleagues (many of whom he trained in cardiology and morphology) will carry on his legacy by continuing to provide expert content in cardiac morphology, utilizing many of Dr. Weinberg’s own teaching materials. In addition, this year will feature expert cardiac morphologist, Andrew Cook, PhD. To supplement anatomic teaching, there are sessions on echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and surgical correlation by distinguished faculty. The purpose of the course is to fill the need for detailed knowledge of cardiac anatomy in all forms of congenital disease. The course is designed for senior, junior and trainee cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, pathologists, pathology assistants, echocardiography sonographers and other medical professionals interested in congenital heart disease.

New this year, we are offering a one-day, in-person experience at Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia, beginning at 9 a.m., that will allow attendees to review cardiac specimens with CHOP faculty. Specimen examples exhibiting many of the major forms of congenital heart defects, both unoperated and post-operative, will be available for guided review. In addition, there will be an opportunity to view our virtual specimen collection using digital and virtual reality formats. This interactive educational experience is not to be missed!

1. Identify the key anatomical aspects of all forms of congenital heart disease
2. Apply their anatomical knowledge to performance or interpretation of imaging studies of congenital heart disease
3. Know the key anatomical features that influence surgical decision-making for repair of congenital heart defects
4. Properly classify congenital heart defects
5. List commonly associated congenital heart defects, as well as those that rarely — or never — occur together
