Lifelong Learning in Cardiology

Education and lifelong learning are core to the European Society of Cardiology - ESC’s mission.

Supporting training in cardiology and Continuing Medical Education are commitments essential to the ESC Mission: “to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe”.

This brochure consolidates the activities of the ESC and its Constituent Bodies (National Cardiac Societies, Associations, Working Groups and Councils) in order to guide you through your Lifelong Learning, Continuing Medical Education (CME), Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Research needs.

Although the most traditional means of delivering CME activities remains live events (congresses & meetings), the ESC is responding more and more to its members’ requirements and focusing on distance learning as an increasingly convenient vehicle for CME and CPD.

All ESC educational activities, from publications to congresses, are structured around and mapped out on curricula (ESC Core Curriculum for general cardiology and subspecialty Curricula), hence ensuring sound education and lifelong learning. Increasingly, ESC Educational activities involve knowledge based assessment. This is becoming ever more systematic with distance learning products, and ultimately with the growing Certification activities of the ESC Associations and Working Groups.

The Specialty Centre of the European Society of Cardiology is a scientific knowledge centre in sub-specialties of Cardiology. The knowledge, training and expertise its members have gained via the ESC and its sub-specialties’ educational programmes are recognised and certified, consequently bringing about and promoting excellence in Cardiology in Europe and worldwide.

ESC eLearning Platform Version 1: the platform is a collaborative tool, involving ESC, ESC Associations & Working Groups and National Cardiac Societies. It aims at organising training in the sub-specialties of Cardiology around their curricula.

The knowledge module offers a wealth of content and courses, to help prepare for sub-specialty certification exams. The skills tracking module and professional modules complete the certification process, engaging local trainers throughout the training period, providing quality assurance to the local and European sign-off. In 2014, the ESC is launching a programme in general cardiology.

More on the ESC eLearning Platform: learn.escardio.org

Finally, the ESC is, and always has been, an advocate and supporter of research. Therefore, this guide will also provide you information on the variety of Research and Training Grants offered by the ESC and its Constituent Bodies each year.

All ESC educational programmes are, where appropriate, submitted to the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for CME/CPD accreditation. EBAC works in accordance with standard procedures established by the UEMS-EACCME.

Continuing Medical Education in Europe - Did you know?

• A CME credit is a unit of time that a physician spends attending a CME activity (1 CME = 1 hour in most cases)

• Collection of CME Credits is mandatory for Physicians in many European Countries (Austria. Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, United Kingdom).

• CME Credits can be collected for participation in live events, webinars, web courses, articles and CD-ROMs.

• Physicians can collect CME Credits at the National and European level.

• European CME Credits collected by American citizens can be converted to AMA Pra Category 1 Credit.

AMA: American Medical Association

CME: Continuing Medical Education

CPD: Continuing Professional Development

UEMS: Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes (European Union of Medical Specialists)

EACCME: European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education

Council on Cardiovascular Basic Science

Outstanding Achievement Awards 2 awards per year and an honorary plaque. The awards honour basic scientists with outstanding accomplishments in their early career. First Contact Initiative Grant for young researchers to establish contacts in top institutions in their field. Two calls per year for grants. Basic Research Fellowship: Grant for non-European researchers to spend one year in a European research laboratory. Industry Innovation Initiative: a grant to assist graduate scientists to undertake a training internship and gain experience in research practice in an Industry environment.

Council on Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions

Nursing / Allied Professional Investigator Award for PhD prepared nursing professionals in the cardiovascular field. The award includes a monetary prize and an honorary plaque for the winner. The other finalists also receive a monetary prize. Post-doctoral Mentorship AwardsThese grants are proposed to PhD graduates within 7 years of their Doctoral Award to benefit from mentoring by experienced nursing professionals. Council for Cardiology Practice Cardiology Across Borders: For a European cardiologist to observe cardiology practice in a different country (for private practice cardiologists)

EACVI - Echocardiography research Grant

The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) offers four research Grant programmes to help young doctors to obtain research experience in a high standard academic centre in an ESC member country. For 2013, the EACVI offers four grants of 25 000 Euros.

EAPCI Grants in interventional cardiology The EAPCI grants provide an opportunity to medical graduates (under 36) having completed the major part of their cardiology training, but before obtaining a “permanent”, “senior staff” or “consultant“ position for clinical training, in the field of interventional cardiology in an ESC Member country other than their own. This programme encourages geographical mobility, cultural exchange and professional practice in the field of cardiology.

Deadline for application: 15 January 2014

EHRA training fellowship programmes

Unique programme for both, where centres and individuals are invited to apply • 2 Sub-specialties available:

- Clinical Electrophysiology with emphasis on catheter ablation (one or two year programme) - Arrhythmias and Cardiac Pacing with emphasis on ICD/CRT (one year programme)

An Academic Research fellowship grant in Electrophysiology (clinical research basic science)

Application opens on: 15 September 2013 Deadline: 15 December 2013

HFA - Research Fellowship

The objective of HFA’s fellowship programme is to offer career enhancement and international experience and, at the same time, to encourage advances in the field of heart failure medicine. Generally, winners are required to work in a different country and attend HFA Congresses. Two grants of 60 000 Euros over 2 years are offered

Application deadline for Research Fellowship: 30 June 2014

HFA Nurse Training Fellowship

For nurses who have completed a master’s degree and wish to continue their training in the area of heart failure. Candidates are required to study in another institution in order to further advance the field of nursing care for heart failure patients as well as providing added value to home institutions or countriesTwo grants of 24 000 Euros for 1 year are available.
