Expand Your Pediatric Cardiology Knowledge Through Specialized Education

Keeping pace with advances in pediatric cardiology requires access to relevant education and clinical insights. Led by Cincinnati Children’s, Heart University gives pediatric cardiologists and trainees free access to specialized curricula, clinical reference materials and case-based discussions designed to expand their knowledge and support continued learning.

Over the past three years, more than 8,000 learners have completed over 16,500 courses. Today, Heart University offers 36 curated courses and learning paths spanning pediatric cardiology board review preparation, electrophysiology, acute care cardiology, transplantation, neonatal cardiology, and adult congenital heart disease.

Congenital cardiology is a constantly evolving field, necessitating collaboration among care providers on an international scale to stay current, to provide high-quality education to trainees, and, most importantly, to deliver the best care to patients at the bedside. Heart University creates the freely accessible forum for healthcare providers within our field to teach and learn from one another, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and educational scholarship.

Explore Specialized Education and Clinical Resources

New offerings continue to expand the knowledge available to pediatric cardiologists. The Pediatric Cardiology Exercise Medicine Core Curriculum is a novel, national instructional series endorsed by the Society of Pediatric Cardiology Training Program Directors (SPCTPD), which provides foundational education in pediatric exercise medicine, supplemented by a live journal club series. The curriculum efficacy is also being evaluated through an educational research study.

Heart University also offers interactive learning through collaborations with the Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society and American Academy of Pediatrics, including ECG of the Month, Fellow Board Review Question of the Month, and Big Dreams for Tiny Hearts -a unique interdisciplinary educational initiative between neonatology and cardiology.

Beyond structured courses, physicians can explore educational resources addressing clinical topics such as acute care cardiology, single ventricle care, adult congenital cardiology, and rheumatic heart disease with contributions from national and international organizations including the Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative (PAC3), the National Pediatric Cardiology Qualitative Improvement Collaborative (NPC-QIC), and International Society for Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ISACHD) among others. Additional resources include recordings from the 2025 International Pediatric Cardio-Oncology Virtual Summit and a webinar series on heritable cardiomyopathies and channelopathies created in conjunction with the Foundation for Inherited Arrhythmias (FIA), previously the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation.

Learn From Colleagues Around the World

Cincinnati Children’s also helps connect clinicians across healthcare environments through Cardiology Across Continents, an interactive, case-based series examining how resources and practice settings influence clinical decision-making.

The collaboration has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed publications since 2023, sharing insights from these discussions with the broader congenital cardiology community, and demonstrating the growing scholarly impact of Heart University.

Find Education That Supports Your Practice

From specialized curricula to clinical reference materials and recorded expert discussions, Heart University delivers educational resources for healthcare professionals dedicated to caring for patients with congenital heart disease. Led by Cincinnati Children’s in collaboration with experts worldwide, the platform continues to expand access to congenital heart education.

Explore Heart University to find courses, clinical guidelines and references, and educational events. Physicians can also subscribe to the Heart University newsletter for updates on new learning opportunities.
