What to expect
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that increasingly burdens patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Radiologists play a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of AD, primarily through the use of advanced imaging modalities such as MRI and PET scans. However, significant gaps and barriers exist in the current training and practices of radiologists, which need to be addressed to improve patient outcomes.
This course combines evidence-based educational strategies with flexible, accessible delivery methods to create an engaging, learner-centred experience. By integrating interactive elements, real-world application, and opportunities for learner influence, the course ensures that participants not only acquire knowledge but also develop the skills and confidence to apply it in their clinical practice.
Renowned European experts ensure a high quality-teaching programme
combining theory and case presentations with an interactive character.

course structure
Small group for the big impact
This course is limited to 16 participants to ensure low instructor-trainee ratio
Pre-course online meeting
An online video call will allow to get to know eachother, set the expectations for the course and assign pre-course tasks for participants
Hands-on training in Vienna
You will meet in-person for a two-day intensive training with interactive tasks, constrictive feedback and self-reflection activities
Post-programme follow-up call
One-month after the course in Vienna you will have a follow-up video call with instructors
