Description

Dear colleagues

We cordially invite you to our CEM courses!

Our full-day CEM courses are designed as a bundle and build directly on each other:

In the Basic Course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of CEM and train your skills in 25+ Interactive Case Discussions.

The Advanced Course builds on this foundation and provides an interactive deep dive into the most relevant clinical indications of CEM.

Booking both courses together is recommended – you’ll also receive a 20% bundle-discount. Of course, each course can also be attended individually, depending on your schedule and interests.

You want to have a sneak preview of the full courses? Check out our FREE case reading sessions!

We look forward to welcoming you to the School of Radiology soon!

Yours,
Pascal Baltzer and Matthias Dietzel

  • The number and confirmation of the CME credits you earned
  • Confirmation of the number and types of cases you assessed during the course (this is optional; see also: “Will I receive a certificate on my case assessments?”)

Will I receive a certificate for my case assessments?

In our full-day courses, you will independently assess real-life cases. You will use our online tool and apply structured reporting for this assessment. Each case is quality-controlled, and we will discuss your assessment.

In our full-day courses we are happy to certify the number of cases that you independently reported (note: this service is optional).

In this case you will find the certificate in your participation confirmation on the last page.

What technical equipment do you recommend?

Our courses are held online via Zoom.
All you need is an internet-compatible device of your choice and a stable internet connection.
The following tips can maximize your learning experience:

  • Install Zoom on your computer.
  • Log in with your personal Zoom account.
  • Familiarize yourself with basic functionalities, e.g., turning video and audio on/off and writing chat messages.
  • Please do not use Zoom via your browser.
  • Tip: Install the Zoom app on a second device (smartphone, tablet, etc.). This will make answering interactive polls more convenient. It will also serve as a backup.
  • Choose a high-quality monitor. If possible, use your diagnostic workstation.
  • A fast and stable internet connection (ideally LAN, not W-LAN), appropriate lighting, a quality microphone, and a quality webcam are important elements for success in the course.

Our company does not have a hotline. We answer your questions personally.
You may also talk directly to your tutors for specific questions related to the course content.
