SCMR/EuroCMR level 1 course

Nice Feb 2nd - 4th 2015

About the course

We offer a 3-day CMR course directed towards SCMR/Euro-CMR level 1 accreditation. The course aims to deliver a solid background of CMR as a clinical application in routine clinical practice. During the morning lectures (very) basic MRI physics, background evidence, and how-to information on all major clinical applications (e.g. myocardial ischaemia, cardiomyopathies and heart failure) will be provided. In the afternoon group sessions cases will be reviewed and discussed. The course will conclude with some lectures on CT vs MR and a comprehensive self-examination exercise. This course will equip practicing physicians with a working knowledge on

  • when to refer a patient (indications, strengths and clinical role)
  • how to read a report
  • know the underlying evidence
  • when CT might be the better option

  • For more experienced participants we offer parallel sessions directed towards the EuroCMR certification (read more here).

    What do I get from the course

    Attendants will receive the theoretical part (teaching and cases). For complete SCMR/Euro-CMR level I accreditation the candidates will still need to fulfill the practical part, which includes one-month on-site training, which can be done anywhere with an accredited SCMR/Euro-CMR level III supervisor. Further information about the accreditation pathways is available online on the SCMR-webpage or the EACVI-webpage.
