This conversation cuts straight to the core of what it means to lead and evolve in cardiac ultrasound.

Daniel Bourque, Program Director at the Orlando Health School of Cardiac Ultrasound and Echotechnical Director at Orlando Regional Medical Center, shares his journey from educator to clinical leader, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

With a background in exercise physiology and education, Daniel brings a rare perspective that blends precision, people-first leadership, and a passion for continuous improvement. In this episode, he talks about the shift toward advanced imaging like 3D-TEE, the role of AI in echo labs, and why strong team culture matters just as much as technical skill.

More than anything, Daniel reminds us that great sonographers aren’t just made in classrooms—they’re shaped by mentorship, curiosity, and the willingness to grow beyond comfort zones.
