I hope that you are well! Thank you very much for bearing with us!

We think that we have figured out now how to do it, the course! The measures to restrict infection with SARS-COV-2 forces us to run a digital meeting only!

The CT part will be May 7-9. The program will be as indicated below for CT days 1, 2 and 3.

The MR part will be split into two half-days of Foundation Training and three half-days of  Image reading and interpretation of findings. Because Natasha and Sarah are located at the east and west coast of North America, the sessions will start at 17:00 hours Central Europe Time (CET; Foundation Training) and 16:00 hours CET (Image reading and interpreting) and last always till 21:00 hours CET.

The course will allow you to advance your MR and CT image reading and finding interpretation skills.

The German Academy for Continuous Veterinary Education (ATF) credits the Rounds on May 7, 8 and 9 with 4, 7 and 7 hours respectively, the Rounds on May 12, 13, 18, 20 and 25 with 4, 4, 5, 5 and 5 hours respectively.

This holds for the participants that will view the livestream only. After a webinar, the participants shall send an email to contact@agpferd.com stating that she / he did view the webinar. Then I can add to the certificate of attendance the credited hours of ATF only.

ATF does not credit the hours of CPE to those of you registered for the webinar but viewing the records after the webinar only. The records will be available at request one time for viewing following a livestream.
