FAQ



Keeping pace with the new technologies

A webinar is a live course transmitted over the Web. One can access webinars from any place in the world!




The webinars are conducted by key opinion leaders in the field of Cardiology. They provide the attendees with a 60 minute practical training including interactive discussions with the Speakers.

Webinars are currently available in General Cardiology, Heart Rhythm and Echocardiography.


  

All the webinars are reviewed for accreditation by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC).  



How it works?

Discover this user friendly tool!

Thanks to the Webinar platform, the Speaker displays presentations and deliver his/her comments over the phone.

Attendees are also connected to the platform and can hear the course using the audio device on their computers (VOIP) or their standard telephones. Interaction with the key opinion leaders during the Webinar is encouraged through "Question and Answer" sessions ("Q&A")



In order to allow full participation between the audience and the Presenter, many Webinars includelive assessment tests in the form of  MCQs. Results (anonymous) are commented live by the Faculties.

Basic technical requirement: A computer, a high speed internet connection and a head set or a telephone to hear the course.
