GENERAL INFORMATION

European Course in Paediatric Radiology

The ESPR Education Committee and the ESPR Board have decided to extend the learning process in Pediatric Radiology by organizing Module 1 (M1) and Module 2 (M2) courses, running two courses (one M1 and one M2) per year. This modification aims to cover the ECR training curriculum in detail and provides the opportunity for more workshops.

Module 1 (basic) course is a 2-day (Friday-Saturday or weekend) exclusively “on-line” course, designed to include Basics like Technology, Physics, techniques, how-to-do procedures and tips, postprocessing techniques, embryology, anatomy, common nosology. M1 courses aim to attract residents, general radiologists with experience in paediatric radiology and paediatric radiologists at the beginning of their fellowship/career. Module I courses are followed by a 30 Multiple choice question (MCQ)/Multiple response question (MRQ)-exam, run electronically on-line, a few hours to a few days after the course.

Module 2 (advanced course) will run onsite or hybrid over 3-4 days, followed by a 50 MCQ-exam run electronically on-line 1-3 days after the course. M2 Courses will elaborate on level II and III knowledge in abdominal, MSK and Cardiovascular/chest/neck imaging through cutting-edge lectures and relevant workshops/Quiz sessions.
