EULAR courses and e-learning

EULAR has long been a committed partner in the field of training and education in rheumatology. It is the objective of EULAR to make a targeted contribution to training and further education of young rheumatologists and health professionals, complementing the standard range of opportunities provided by universities, hospitals and other institutions. To this end, EULAR offers a limited number of own branded courses, and in addition grants "EULAR scientific endorsement" as a mark of scientific quality to selected courses and meetings run by established providers in Europe.

 

EULAR courses are conceived and developed under the supervision of the EULAR Standing Committee on Education and Training. They are organized by the EULAR Secretariat or, occasionally, by an external agency or a university institute. EULAR courses are independent branded products and as such fully financed by EULAR and the course participants. They are subject to specific criteria and guidelines. In view of its educational goals, EULAR is committed to keeping registration fees for participants as low as possible. For participants in financial need, EULAR provides a number of course bursaries on application.

 

EULAR training opportunities are offered in both live and remote formats:

• Long-standing physical EULAR courses are the EULAR Ultrasound Course or the EULAR SLE Course. Other EULAR courses are being considered or developed. It is at the discretion of EULAR to grant existing rheumatology courses the status of a "EULAR course", following the specific guidelines.
• In recent years, EULAR has made substantial efforts and investment in building e-learning offers. While the 2-year Online Course on Rheumatic Diseases offers a comprehensive introduction to and update on all aspects of rheumatology, a number of shorter online courses offer flexible learning for the specialist. Our electronic training programme also includes a DVD demonstrating diagnostic and treatment practices in an effective way.
