It is designed to enhance their knowledge and skills beyond the basics, so that their clinical practice could be further optimized and their patient outcomes improved. It will be tutored by internationally recognized experts, mostly from Europe. The course will include lectures, interactive problem sessions and hands-on workshops. The lectures will be given to all 36 participants, but the workshops will be delivered in small groups of 12 participants, who will solve different clinical problems under the supervision of the experts in the field. The working language will be English (fluency in English is required). All participants will get the syllabus.
