more information & programme coming soon
What to expect
For one week, participants receive practical and theoretical knowledge and the opportunity to be integrated into the activities of an academic radiology department.
Additional exposure to non-interpretory issues of the broader culture of radiology is provided, addressing radiologic education, departmental work-flow, quality assurance or administrative principles and qualities. The whole programme is performed by renowned faculty including local and invited speakers.
The aim of the ESOR Tutorials is to enhance the experience of young radiologists, residents in the late years of their training, and board-certified radiologists in their daily radiological routines through an intensive, week-long teaching program.
Accreditation
Applications will be made to the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) for CME accreditation of this event.
We work with impartiality and transparency. Find the steering committee disclosure forms here →
