Unfortunately, our level 1 compact course will not take place in the usual form due to COVID 19. We have now found a way to guarantee you adequate training and meet the requirements for certification.
We will hold the compact course level 1 from June 7th, 2021 to June 11th, 2021 at 9 a.m. Berlin time online via “Clickmeeting”.
We are currently running our first level 1 online course, which looks like this:
The course started with 15 participants and includes a full schedule of lectures (clinical and physics), cases, online patient observation (adults and congenital HD), and Q&A sessions.
The course is already accredited by the Medical Association in Berlin. The data transfer and patient observation meet all legal requirements in Europe and patients / doctors give written confirmation.
Each participant has the opportunity to see, speak and write to the colleagues who conduct the meetings. This not only enables the observation, but also the interpretation / discussion of the cases with an experienced (Level 3 certified) cardiologist.
The online presence of the participants is guaranteed by a certified European software and a daily documentation of the activities of each participant.
All of these individual points guarantee that the requirements for level 1 are met (DGK) (SCMR). (The same applies to EACVI requirements).
Aim
This compact course covers cmr diagnostics in theory and practice in an intensive 5 day format.
Details
The compact course includes more than 15 hours of theoretical coursework. Live patient demos are provided, including dobutamine stress and perfusion imaging. A wide variety of cases is presented and discussed.
Basic knowledge on MR techniques and basic cardiac physiology and pathophysiology is taught seperately for radiologists and cardiologists.
The course contains lectures on:
- Basics in physics
- Basic cardiac physiology & pathophysiology
- Anatomy of the heart
- Assessment of left and right ventricular function
- CMR examination under dobutamine stress
- Perfusion measurements
- Diagnosis of myocardial infarction
- Imaging of the coronary arteries
- Diagnosis of valvular heart disease
- Diagnosis of neoplasia
- Imaging of thoracic and peripheral vessels
- Patient scanning will be performed for dobutamine stress
examinations, perfusion imaging, and infarct imaging
- Case demonstrations round up the lectures
The spectrum of topics will be continuously modified in order to keep up-to-date with clinical and technical developments.
NOTE:
The participation fees for compact course will absorbed into participation fe es for level 2 fellowships!
Certificate of attendance /CME accreditation
A certificate of attendance will be sent to you directly after the event has ended. The Academy’s courses are certified by the German Society for Cardiology (DGK), the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR), the Berlin Physicians Association and the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC).
