In the second half, participants will review actual patient scenarios with analysis of sounds to determine diagnosis.  This session utilizes the software created by Dr. J. Michael Criley of UCLA, “Beyond Heart Sounds” and “The Physiology of Heart Sounds and Murmurs”Supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Littmann Stethoscopes, a product of 3M Healthcare.
