COURSE INFORMATION
In 2017, ESOR is continuing to organise foundation courses to prepare/assist those entering examinations for the European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR). These courses may also be attended by board-certified radiologists, wishing to update their knowledge in a specific area. A series of nine courses is organised at the ESR Learning Centre in Vienna/Austria, each one dealing with a specific organ/system-oriented theme.

The teaching concept will include 20-minute lectures, immediately followed by 40-minute case-based reviews on six topics. The teaching/learning objectives for each of the topics will be strictly adhered to the European Training Curriculum.
A self-assessment test including multiple-choice questions for each of the topics will round-off the exercise.

25 participants will be targeted per course. Registration will be possible for each single, one-day course, or for several courses of the series.

Each of the ESOR Courses for EDiR has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) with 6 European CME credits as well as with a maximum of 8 DFP (Diplom-Fortbildungs-Programm der Österreichischen Akademie der Ärzte) credits by the Österreichische Ärztekammer (Austrian Medical Chamber).

European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR)
The European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR) is an international diploma issued and certified by the European Board of Radiology (EBR). Success in the EDiR examination certifies a standard of radiological knowledge deemed appropriate for independent practice in general radiology by the European Society of Radiology. The knowledge base for the examination is based on the European Training Curriculum for Radiology (ETCR). Board-certified radiologists and fifth-year residents are eligible to take the examination. It also provides the individual radiologist with an objective mechanism for self-evaluation and career development. The EDiR, as international certificate of excellence, is particularly important for radiologists at the start of their careers, and will surely help them focus on their professional development and to improve their job opportunities in the future.

The EDiR certificate is endorsed by the ESR and the UEMS. CESMA appraised EDiR during the ECR 2015. For more information regarding the structure of the diploma, how to qualify and future examination dates please, visit the EBR website.
