Available exclusively to Elite plan members

As a final-year anaesthetic registrar with an interest in critical care echo, I’ve found Echo Journal to be an invaluable resource. The lessons are clear and practical, the micro-teaching style fits perfectly into busy clinical schedules, and the board prep questions are excellent for active recall. It’s become an essential part of my study routine as I prepare for the EACVI/BSE exams.
