About ESOR The ASKLEPIOS project was created to serve professional development, meeting recognized needs in the context of continuing radiology education. Its concept is versatile and broad even to cover evolving topics in European and non-European destinations. Its programs include multi-topic, organ-oriented, multi-modal, and multidisciplinary advanced courses designed for senior residents, general radiologists, and private practitioners in radiology or allied specialists. This educational program is delivered by highly regarded European speakers and local speakers in an effort to open up new opportunities for knowledge exchange and enhance scientific collaboration. One of the great differentials of ESOR courses is that they offer a combination of classes and case discussions, where participants, divided into smaller groups, have the opportunity to see cases together with professors, making it much easier to ask questions and exchange information. of experiences. It is important to remember that classes will be taught in English and there will be no simultaneous translation service.
