EULAR On-line Course on Rheumatic Diseases
The next 2-year-course will start in April 2008.
The EULAR On-Line Course on Rheumatic Diseases ( www.eular-onlinecourse.org ) is an electronic form of continuous medical education in rheumatology. The course is managed by a Scientific Course Committee responsible for controlling the structure and content of the course and for ensuring regular quality control and promotion.
The full version of the course covering the whole of rheumatology consists of 42 illustrated modules dedicated to a specific topic. Each module corresponds to approximately five hours working for the student, totalling around 210 hours of educational training (accreditation for CME-points is on-going). The course is totally run through the web and is designed to last for two years and will end with a EULAR Certificate in April 2010.
Topics will change bi-weekly and are run by a group of renowned faculty members.
Knowledge and skills are targeted at the level felt to be appropriate for the final year of training of a rheumatology trainee. The on-line course was developed with a substantial grant from EULAR, so that the entire course can be offered at EUR 400 per participant.
