Training activity information
Details
Identify correct anatomical structures demonstrated on 2D image planes including intracardiac normal variants such as Eustachian valve, Chiari network, LV tendon and extracardiac anatomy.
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Normal appearance of intra cardiac and extra cardiac structures
- Knowledge of limitations, when to ask for advice
