Hands-On Training
The EACTA Hands-on training "ECHO in Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine" offers a combination of pre-course e-learning and hands-on training. Both are included in the fee.
Both parts will take place on September 14 and also on September 15.
License codes for the e-learning will be sent by EACTA at least four weeks in advance

* Part 1 and Part 2 will be organized on both days and can be followed apart as well as together:
- the maximum number of participants is 50 per day
(max. 5 participants per workstation for optimal exposure to hands-on training)
- registration is possible for either part 1 or part 2 per day until all available spots are fully booked
