Here’s an Excel case log template for the practice experience pathway for critical care echocardiography certification (CCEeXAM) through the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE).
This is the template I used to get diplomate status at the time of this writing. It’s based on the sample provided by the NBE.
Please leave me a comment with suggestions or if you found this template helpful! 😊

Hi Dr.Rishi,
Thanks for sharing the template. I am a PCCM fellow and I’ve passed the CCEeXAM. I have logged about 100 cases so far.
How detailed should the logs be? Mine are about 2 to 3 sentences, with findings and measurements listed. Do you have a sample of logs to share?
Thanks.
I included quantitative assessments (e.g., TAPSE, LVOT VTI, LVEF by Simpson’s, PISA, etc.) and qualitative assessments (leaflet sclerosis, effusion, variation, mild/mod/severe valvulopathies, etc.) Keep in mind that it wasn’t feasible to do every measurement in every situation due to limited windows. Also, I don’t think all of these things are necessary for CCEeXAM certification.
