EULAR On-line Introductory Ultrasound Course
The EULAR On-line Introductory Ultrasound Course (http://www.eular-us-onlinecourse.org/) is an electronic form of continuous medical education in rheumatology.
The course is run entirely through the web, designed for 7 months of training. The course will cover 7 modules, starting each September and finishing in April, followed by a final online examination a month later. Upon passing the examination a EULAR certificate will be issued.
It is our objective to offer theoretical basic skills on musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) showing different joint sites, in healthy subjects and in rheumatic diseases, using a wide variety of images and video clips. The course is being updated on a yearly basis.
Knowledge and skills are targeted at the level felt to be appropriate for European rheumatologists who would like to acquire a basic theoretical knowledge on MSUS. Participants of this course might later plan to continue with the training program by attending EULAR MSUS Courses and/or MSUS courses with EULAR endorsement.
This on-line ultrasound course was developed with a substantial grant from EULAR, so that the entire course can be offered at EUR 150 per participant. In order to especially support young rheumatologist from countries with a GDP per capita below USD 10'000, EULAR offers participants from these countries a reduced registration fee of EUR 100.
For on-line course participants we offer the new EULAR Textbook on Rheumatic Diseases, published and first presented during the EULAR Congress in Berlin 2012, for a reduced price of EUR 70.
