Comment: Excellent and well organized course. Dr Rumberger and Dr Fein are both excellent teachers and we enjoyed and learnt alot from the course.
06/27/2010
Comment: worth it - if have to spend 5 days getting your level 2 certification- there is probably no better place
03/11/2010
Comment: Well organized with relevant curriculum and topics. Good balance of didactic and hands on instruction.
03/09/2010
Comment: PLC provided a comprehensive but intensive course on the utility and interpretation of Cardiac CTA. The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. The cases were live patients studied while we were at the site as well as a selected group of cases to provide a learning value. It focused on coronary disease but also touched on other anatomical diseases and variants. The CTA was put into clinical context in most cases. The course was professionally run.

Comment: A great course! Both John Rumberger and David Fein are very pleasant, easy to interact with, highly informative, and a great team. Very informative, friendly, and with a good objective view on applicability of CTA. Excellent teaching, intense but very well presented. Nothing but praise. I came all the way from Australia for this, and it was worth it.

Comment: Excellent course, very comprehensive. Highly recommended.
01/25/2010
Comment: -Excellent teachings by one of the clinical world founding fathers of cardiac CT. - A lots of "examination type" of questions as well as real life cases of the scanner. Hands on experience on the workstations on the data sets gives me confidence on reallife cases. -Friendly and facilitating supporting staff. Good food!
03/10/2009
Comment: Well orgranized. Extensive academic and pratical experience in the teachers.

Comment: Fantastic course in all aspects. Dr. Rumberger is a pioneer in the field and his course is an excellent educational experience. I have attended other courses and found this one to be head and shoulders above the rest. Efficiently organized, expertly taught. I just completed the course this past weekend and came back and read a heavy load of studies- felt completely comfortable with my level of experience after completing the course. Had my studies blindly overviewed by one of our cardiac imaging specialists who completely concurred with my reads.
10/30/2008
Comment: This was an absolutely fantastic course. I couldn't have been more pleased. I wasn't an absolute novice in regards to cardiac CT, with no knowledge or insight into processing or with working with the workstation. In fact I had a pretty good anxiety level about working with a CTA workstation that first time. However the anxiety level was quickly abated thanks to the expert mentorship of Drs. Rumberger and Fein. Now I have confidence in both working with the workstation and interpreting the images that are provided.

Comment: Very intensive course with lots of hands on experience. Excellent teachers with lots of clinical correlation. Good review of the physics involved with image acquisition. I felt that the only weaknesses were the lack of training regarding extra cardiac manifestations and would have liked to seen more of these and the inability to review a scan in its entire form sometimes. I also would have liked to learn more about image acquisition and the removal of artifacts. Overall excellent course. I am also considering level 3 from the same institution.
04/13/2008
Comment: Great course. Good mix of lectures and reading cases. Drs. Rumberger and Fein were great teachers and made the course fun. Highly recommended.
04/09/2008
Comment: This was an excellent course. The instructors were very experienced in CCTA and also very good at explaining things. There was a high volume of cases both live and archived. The workstations were also excellent and easy to use. I am comfortable reading studies on my own at this point.
03/06/2008
Comment: An excellent course. Drs Rumberger and Fein are very knowledgable, friendly and provide great teaching with a wide range of relevant cases.
03/04/2008
Comment: The instructors were very knowledgeable. The course was free of any conflict of interest. They had enough cases to present including live cases.
03/03/2008
Comment: Superb Course. Not a single minute wasted. Dr John Rumberger and Dr David Fein deliver what they promise. You will learn what you need to know. Great hands on experience. I just finished the L II course. A.Basu

Comment: Good course. To the point and very practical. Very experienced teachers with excellent instruction and valuable insight to comprehensive CTA imaging - business and clinical. An abundance and variety of cases. Very free of commerical bias. Probably the best software and machine for the practicing cardiologist. You will leave prepared! Not always enough time to navigate the workstation. Would expect to see more cath correlation.

Comment: Drs. Rumberger and Fein did a stellar job of teaching how to interpret CTA scans in a conservative fashion. Dr. Rumberger is a founder of this field of imaging and it is humbling to be in the presence of such a thought leader in medicine, albeit one who has been treated badly by the medical political leadership for being a brilliant pioneer. Both Drs. Rumberger and Fein provide excellent hands on individualized teaching and deal with all questions with respect. They are simply great teachers who all the time display a keen sense of history and humor that make the long hours fly by. The support staff is accomodating and expertly handles all details well to make your stay in the Princeton area go well. Don't believe what you hear from competitors who say that sharing a TeraRECON workstation with a colleague cuts down on the learning experience. To the contrary, it enhances the learning experience. You learn from each other. This is a true collaborative learning experience. There is no wasted time. The trainees are saturated with cases and lectures even during lunch. This is learning by immersion that this group has down pat. This is one of the best learning experiences I have ever attended. Great value for the money spent.
11/05/2007
Comment: This Cardiac CTA course is excellent. A small group setting such as this is a great way to learn. Drs. Rumberger and Fein are both good teachers. Two people per work station was ideal as we both learned things from each other. A 3 1/2 day course is clearly enough time to learn CTA. I highly recommend this course to others.
10/31/2007
Comment: Excellent course. Small group w/ multiple work stations optimized hands on experience. Highly recommended. If you are looking for a course that works in the morning and gives you time off in the afternoon, this is not it. Intensive training quickly builds competence.
10/31/2007
Comment: Excellent course, I'd recommend taking it to anyone interested in learning CT angiography. The only drawback is in having to share a computer.
10/23/2007
Comment: I found the course and instructors to be excellent. The material was presented in a concise and very informative manner. The instructors and their staff are very knowledgeable, and know how to teach and present the material. I have every intention of returning for future courses in vascular and periph. training. I highly recommend this course. The atmosphere was friendly and comfortable.
10/22/2007
Comment: That was excellent course for learning of CT Angiogram.
10/22/2007
Comment: Excellent course, well taught and organized. Highly recommended!!!
10/01/2007
Comment: Outstanding course.
09/29/2007
Comment: Excellent intense small course with a lot of one to one interactions with faculty to allow the attendee to get considerable knowlege and experience with CTA. Time well utilized with little or no wasted time.
09/17/2007
Comment: The course was very well organized and had lots of pertinent cases to review. After the course, I feel competent in evaluating CTA's of the heart and know the artifacts and pitfalls to avoid. I like the candid information and lack of bias from the instructors, as they aren't employed by the big CT scanner companies.
09/15/2007
Comment: This was an outsatnding course in a very relaxed atmosphere. I am already reading studies on my own. To fit this much information and all the studies into 3 1/2 days was amazing. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
09/13/2007
Comment: Expertly executed. Performed as advertised. Staff was very knowledgeable and honest. Well worth the money and time.
09/11/2007
Comment: Well rounded, concentrated course, met all the criteria for level II training.
08/28/2007
Comment: Very well organized and efficient course. Initially I was questioning the ability to review in the time allotted the number of live cases that were suggested. Due to very creative scheduling of the patients this was accomplished as advertised. While the didactic part is adequate for persons without prior exposure to CTA, having some background prior to the course results in the possibility to interact at the different level with the instructors.
08/27/2007
Comment: This was an excellent course! I learned more in 1 day than I did in 1 month of my fellowship. It was interactive, engaging and worth every dime. We easily met all the case requirements and the live cases were very interesting. The documentation was incredible. I would recommend it again and again.
08/26/2007
Comment: Concise, comprehensive coverage of need to know information in a relaxed atmosphere. Excellent course.
08/24/2007
Comment: Excellent, comprehensive and hands on.
08/21/2007
Comment: Excellent course. Well run with good practical information and hands on training. Dr. Rumberger is an excellent teacher.
08/21/2007
Comment: Outstanding course, probably the best that I have ever attended. Very well put together and organized. Great location and teaching environment. I would recommend highly.
07/24/2007
Comment: I am an interventional cardiologist who came into the course with no training in cardiac CTA. The instructors did an amazing job. I feel completely comfortable incorporating cardiac CTA into my practice at this point. I highly recommend this course for any cardiologist who is interested in learning this technology.
07/23/2007
Comment: Extremely well organized and efficiently conducted course with optimal balance between didactic material and hands-on experience. Drs. Rumberger and Fein are excellent teachers whose effectiveness is facilitated by their expertise and collegial attitude toward the students. The entire staff; from course administrator Ms. Lanza to the nurses and CT technologists; were welcoming, informative and extremely helpful. Highly recommended!
07/23/2007
Comment: This is an outstanding course and provides the physician with an opportunity to learn from the experts. Spectacular teachers who are dedicated to providing an extensive review of the technology and skill sets necessary to become competent in reading cardiac MDCT angiography.
07/23/2007
Comment: Excellent teaching and training. Supervised 50 live cases over 3 1/2 days. Dr. Rumberger and Dr. Fein do an excellent job.
07/08/2007
Comment: Great course. Very practical, hands-on and very real world oriented, which I thought was very important. Drawbacks, limitations, etc were made clear . Great mentors and you felt you could always contact them for help later on. Strong academic experience as well as very efficiently run to make it as intense as it's supposed to be.
06/29/2007
Comment: This is an excellent course. It fulfilled all my needs to be a level II independent interpreter of coronary CTAs. Dr. Rumberger and Dr. Fein have put together a well-rounded course to take you from a novice level to a competent reader. All the didactics and case study were well organized. We saw a wide variety of cases including CABG, stents, non-obstructive and obstructive disease. Also special emphasis was put on noncoronary and noncardiac structures. They also make sure that the trainees are well aware of the limitations of the CTAs. I had a very good experience and I will recommend this to anyone.
06/26/2007
Comment: "Intensive course" indeed. Fullfilled all my needs of learning a brand new field from a novice to a competent level and exceeded all my expectations of didactic learning, hands-on experience on Tera Reacon work-station and all logistic arrangements. No minor detail was over-looked and both speakers are a pleasure to listen to. Andrea was extraordinarily helpful in all aspects of arrangement from beginning to end and went out of her way to accomodate unexpected needs createde by a cancelled shuttle. Highly recommended.
06/24/2007
Comment: Excellent course! Even if you do not have any significant knowledge about CCTA this course quickly teaches you from the fundamentals of physics to live cases and cases including CABG, stents, artifacts etc. Also extra cardiac structures discussed as well. Very good teaching and mentors receptive to questions etc. I did not have any knowledge prior to this course and after more than 150 cases I feel a lot more comfortable. The fact that you do not have to take a week or a week and a half for level II is a major bonus. Very nice staff as well.
06/13/2007
Comment: This was an outstanding course. Not only did I enjoy the course, I now feel qualified to adequately interpret cardiac CT angiograms. Drs Rumberger and Fein have constructed a highly effective and fully engaging curriculum that I would recommend to anyone considering training in cardiac CT.
