Education Calendar

A collaboration between: ESVS Academy; Department of Vascular Surgery, Copenhagen, Denmark; Copenhagen  Academy for Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES), Denmark. "This educational programme focuses on elective endovascular treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) and is designed for novices and advanced beginners. The format is mixed e-learning and hands-on training. You will be continuously assessed and will, if you pass, be certified according to the validated standards developed and used in Copenhagen". Join: Jonas Eiberg, Professor of Vascular Surgery; Timothy Resch, Professor of Vascular Surgery; Michael Strøm, MD, PhD; Rebecca Andrea Conradsen Skov, MD - and other experts Learning objective To obtain technical and non-technical skills in elective infrarenal EVAR, and make pre-trained novices ready to continue their surgical training in the OR under supervision. Programme description ENHANCE is a certifying simulation-based educational programme aiming to prepare vascular surgical trainees to perform EVAR on patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. ENHANCE consists of mandatory precourse e-learning and 3 intensive days of hands-on training in Copenhagen. We use high-fidelity simulators and the latest evidence within course design, assessment and certification. Participants will perform case sizing and planning on 3D-sizing stations and complete several EVAR procedures as surgeons and assistants on virtual reality endovascular […]

The ESVS Academy invites you to Crowne Plaza hotel in Belgrade, Serbia for the upcoming Basic Vascular Ultrasound Course. 1-2 November 2022 Join: Igor Koncar, Belgrade, Kim Kargaard Bredahl, Denmark and others, to be confirmed. Objectives Vascular ultrasound provides immediate diagnostic, and may provide clinically important information that cannot be obtained by any other imaging modality. Vascular ultrasound is harmless and can be performed at the bedside. The course is 50% theoretical and 50% hands-on. During the course, participants will be taught physics and principles behind vascular ultrasound, ultrasound anatomy and how to perform basic vascular ultrasound examination. This includes abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, peripheral bypasses, basic carotid ultrasound, deep venous thromboses and varicose veins. Classroom sessions will be followed by hands-on sessions, where course participants will have the opportunity to practise under supervision on patients with relevant vascular disease. This course corresponds to the curriculum of the theoretical part of EFSUMB Level 1 in Vascular Ultrasound (European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology). Attendance at the entire course is mandatory, in order to receive a course certificate with your CME points. Participants’ qualifications The course is aimed at vascular surgeons, vascular residents, nurses, technicians, sonographers taking […]
