From 2017 onwards, the EANM’s educational activities will focus on ESMIT. As a major new initiative, we plan to hold two residential ESMIT Schools every year in partnership with university hospitals across Europe. These educational meetings will last 3 days and will deliver interactive, multi modality teaching on 4 different subjects, or tracks. Each track will last 1.5 days so that attendees can study 2 different topics per meeting. In addition to interactive lectures based on the “Think-Pair-Share Approach”, participants will experience team-working with outstanding experts in multimodality imaging by attending “Buzz Sessions”, hands-on workshops and classroom polls.
The first two ESMIT Schools will be the Spring School in Groningen, Netherlands from March 31-April 2, 2017 and the Autumn School in Cluj, Romania from September 1-3, 2017.
The programme for the Spring School will include an oncology track focussing on thoracic and prostate cancer and a musculoskeletal track on multimodality imaging in musculoskeletal disease. The Autumn School 2017 will include paediatrics and a second oncology track.
The learning objectives and content for each course are being developed by the ESMIT Working Groups in close collaboration with EANM Committee members and Education Representatives, the Education Chair and Vice Chair. We are also liaising with Clinical Partner Societies such as ECCO, ESTRO, EACVI and ESO who are keen to support our initiative.
And this is just the start. The pace of change in our discipline and demand for multimodality imaging teaching by our trainees has never been higher. We are relying on your help to meet the challenging goals that have been set and strengthen the unique position of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine globally. An open call for 2018 teaching venues will be advertised shortly and we welcome centres to apply to host future School meetings.
We are looking forward to seeing you all at the EANM Congress in Barcelona to bring you up to date about the programme, share ideas and discuss potential venues and topics for future Schools.
