Following a rigorous selection procedure, 50 participants were selected on the quality of their applications to attend the first edition of the Course.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first module was initially postponed and then supplemented with a 2-Day Virtual Kick-Off Meeting which took place in March 2021.
Module 1 took place on 6-9 April 2022 in Maasmechelen, Belgium. Faculty and participants gathered for 4 days of learning, exchanging ideas, working in groups, quizzes, mentorship, networking and a bit of fun!
In small groups, participants discussed real-life cases and situations, as well as patient management. Topics such as genetic predisposition, nuclear medicine, communication with parents and patients, statistics, late effects, and essential medicines were also covered, as well as a highly entertaining talk on presentation skills. All sessions were extremely interactive and preliminary feedback from both participants and faculty was extremely positive.
