ECHO On © is a free medical education resource for learning Transesophageal Echocardiography including a free, enlarging question bank, a Rescue TEE cognitive aid, and a growing perioperative Quick Reference library with offline echo loops that work even in the OR without internet access, and includes pathology examples, techniques, and normal loops of the heart. ECHO On will walk you through an entire standard 28 view exam teaching you the anatomy, function and Doppler interrogations you should perform at each view, and how to interpret them.


ECHO On is and will remain free, and the best way you can contribute is to submit boards-style questions or echo stills and echo loops to help grow the QBank, Quick Reference and Pathology libraries. See the app for more info!  SupportPrivacy Policy.

I used to do a lot of work in neuroscience including neuromodulation and spine surgery outcomes research. Most of it is indexed on Google Scholar.

I spent many years working with the great Professor David L. Anderson et al. on The Mind Project, studying and developing curriculum on Cognitive Science, including minds and robots. My profile on The Mind Project.
