Learning Resources

If you need to learn heart sound or refresh your skills, you can use our training modules with our audio, video and text lessons. Many of our auscultation modules at no charge. We suggest starting with normal sounds, then first, second and third/fourth heart sounds, then adding the several abnormal murmurs.
