Read from the active version, by effective date.
COCATS Level I
- Minimum experience3months
Fellows are expected to reach Level I within the first two years.
- TTEs performed75minimum
- TTEs interpreted150minimum
Program, Echo Work Guide specification, 2026-09-21 (COCATS)
COCATS Level II
- Minimum experience6months
Fellows are expected to reach Level II during fellowship. Level III is a conversation with the Echo Lab Director.
- TTEs performed150minimum
- TTEs interpreted300minimum
- Stress echoes interpreted100minimum
- TEEs performed / interpreted50minimum
100 TEEs are strongly recommended, though 50 is the stated minimum.

Program expectation
- Stress echoes directly supervised10minimum
The program’s own expectation, not a COCATS number.

TTE
Performed and interpreted, counted separately.
- TTEs performed
- TTEs interpreted
- Studies performed or interpreted outside the rotation, which also count
Whether the counts come from MedHub, from the reading system, or from verified manual entry. No total is shown until one of them is connected.

Stress echo
Interpreted and supervised, counted separately.
- Stress echoes interpreted
- Stress echoes directly supervised
Whether supervision is logged anywhere, and by whom. The target is published above; nothing counts against it yet.
Answered by: Program
TEE
Performed and interpreted, counted separately.
- TEEs performed
- TEEs interpreted
Whether TEEs done on the Echo rotation are logged differently from those done on the dedicated TEE rotation.

Rotation highlights
Interesting cases, conferences attended, the assigned lecture.
- Your assigned echo conference, and whether it is done
- Conferences attended during the block
- Cases worth keeping — learning cases, never patient identifiers
What is easy to miss
- Studies performed or interpreted during conferences count. Log them.
- Studies read outside this rotation count too — the COCATS numbers are for the fellowship, not for the block.
Learning goals
Personal goals and reflections. Private.
Nothing recorded. There is no way to write to this yet — the module is here because the program asked for it, and the entry path is the next piece of work.
No counts and no progress bars. UTKardio is connected to no procedure log, so there is no numerator for either — and a fellow reading “112 of 150” that this page worked out for itself would be deciding they had met a COCATS level on our arithmetic. The targets above are published standards, dated and sourced, read from a table rather than written into this page.
Still needed from the program
Listed rather than guessed. These are the facts this page cannot answer.
- Procedure logWhether TTE, TEE and stress counts come from MedHub, from the reading system, or from verified manual entry — and whether supervision is logged anywhere at all. No count appears beside a target until one of them is connected.
