Expand Your Respiratory Care Expertise with Hands-On Cardiovascular Ultrasound Training

You’ve spent your career at the center of patient care — hearing, feeling, and managing every heartbeat and breath in real time. Echocardiography could not be built on stronger foundation.

Our cardiac and pulmonary ultrasound hands-on training Course gives you those visual confirmations, adding precision and confidence to your bedside decisions. It’s the natural next step for respiratory therapists ready to expand their clinical scope and professional value. Now, along with bedside ultrasound technology, it's the future of your field.

We’ve been teaching clinicians like you since 1975. In 1981, we created the first hands-on ultrasound course for critical-care providers, and for more than four decades we’ve refined it— to fit your schedule, your learning style, and your goals.

Why Respiratory Therapists Have Chosen KMA Ultrasound.

Our five-day hands-on echocardiography course is designed specifically for respiratory therapists seeking a practical, rewarding lateral career move. In our small-group micro-classes, you’ll scan live anatomy, learn structured cardiac and lung ultrasound protocols, and interpret real bedside findings — from acute mitral regurgitation and elevated pulmonary artery pressure to pleural effusion and lung consolidation. And if the physics of sonography is foreign to you, we're going to take care of that, too.

You'll appreciate these benefits:

• Career Expansion: Move confidently into cardiovascular ultrasound and broaden your earning potential.

• Micro-Class Format: Only four participants per session — personalized instruction from expert mentors.

• Fast-Track Learning: Two immersive days that open the door to a new specialty without months away from work.

• Flexible Scheduling: Quarterly classes in Dallas, Texas, or on-site team training available anytime.

• Lifetime Mentoring: Ongoing guidance and support at no extra cost — because your growth never stops.

Your Next Level Starts Here.

Refinement, Not Remediation.

We recognize that your time is limited—and that every professional decision you make carries downstream consequences for patient care. Time with us is not a pause from practice, but a strategic investment in sharper judgment, greater efficiency, and sustained clinical confidence. Our role is to refine how you see, interpret, and decide at the bedside—and to remain a long-term resource as your clinical questions evolve.

I didn't know until I got there that Keith is a first-generation CCU Nurse and Trauma, too. He brought all the parts together exactly like I needed.
