Description
+ Include: 2 videos + 1 pdf, size: 27.7 GB
+ Target Audience: cardiologists, radiologists
+ Information:
Join us for the 2025 CMR Board Exam Review Course. The CMR Certification Examination Preparatory Course organized by SCMR, is intended to align to the objectives for a new physician certification in cardiovascular magnetic resonance
(CMR) launched by the Alliance for Physician Certification & Advancement™ (APCA™).
The Certification Board of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CBCMR) examination assesses candidates on their knowledge, skills and abilities in preparing patients for CMR studies, selecting appropriate protocols, conducting CMR studies
in a spectrum of scenarios and interpreting the results, and performing post-processing tasks. For more information regarding the examination, please visit here.

The 2025 CMR Board Exam Review Course by the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) is designed for:
Physicians preparing for the CBCMR certification exam This includes cardiologists, radiologists, and other medical professionals aiming to demonstrate proficiency in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
Trainees and fellows in cardiovascular imaging Those currently in training who want a structured, comprehensive review of CMR principles and clinical applications.
Clinicians seeking to deepen their CMR expertise Even if not taking the exam, the course is valuable for practitioners who want to enhance their diagnostic and interpretive skills in CMR.
The course aligns with the objectives of the Certification Board of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CBCMR) and covers:
- Patient preparation and safety
- Protocol selection and performance
- Interpretation of ischemic and nonischemic heart disease
- Post-processing techniques
