Aim of the course
This course is designed to aid the continued development of medical doctors who have started or have recently completed a programme of training in interventional cardiology in the Core subjects of the syllabus.
Why a fellow course in Europe?
Interventional cardiology was born in Europe and Europe has led the development and the scientific validation of many of the new devices and techniques, which have made angioplasty the most frequently applied method of myocardial revascularisation. Despite the worldwide recognition of the high qulaity of many European centres, and with the notable exception of France, which has actively engaged in the Interventional training programmes for at least 10 years, Europe has remained behind in terms of approved interventional cardiology training programmes.
The European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions is actively trying to fill this gap and has developed a Curriculum and Syllabus of Interventional Cardiology published in EuroIntervention in 2006 with the intention to support the development of a homogeneous high quality in Interventional Cardiology in all European countries.
Who should attend?
Cardiology Fellows who have been accepted for training in Interventional Cardiology, are performing their period of training, or young cardiologists who have recently completed their training or wish to refresh their interventional training. To allow full interaction, a maximum number of 130 attendants will be allowed with mandatory confirmation of their training supervisor that they will be, are or have been engaged in a program of interventional training for at least 1 year.
What should I expect from this course?
All lectures will be given by recognized experts drawn from the interventional faculty. They will cover in depth all the aspects of the subject discussed, from the basics to the latest developments.
Lectures will be open to questions from the participants. review of cases and complications, in a preliminary session or integrated in the lectures or questions, will offer examples of practical applications of the concepts discussed. The breaks will allow interaction with the Faculty and colleagues. This one-to-one interaction will hopefully establish links and long-term relationships helpful for personal development and a greatest integration of European professionals in Interventional Cardiology.
