Description
About us
We are a genuine team of two individuals driven by their joint passion for excellence in radiology. Collaborating closely at all stages of our careers, we rank among the most internationally respected radiologists of our generation.
This is the story behind our CEM courses: A coherent teaching on highest scientific, clinical and teaching standard.
Since the very beginning of our teamwork, we have been passionate about scientifically sound, clinically relevant and didactically polished teaching. The enthusiastic feedback from our participants motivates us to constantly improve our courses.
