SKILLS Programme

Skills Programme

The EACTS Academy is pleased to offer advanced training programmes in surgical skills and has collaborated with experienced surgeons to develop these training programmes.

The EACTS Skills Programme will offer four separate modules for instruction where one can obtain different competencies. Each programme will address the spectrum of skill levels and allows surgeons to begin training at their level of expertise.

Courses are now being advertised as Level 1, 2, 3 or “Conferences/Summits” depending on the target audience. The aim is to ensure that the right delegates attend the right course at the right time in their career.

Leadership Courses are run by our expert EACTS Committees and are aimed at all Skills Levels.

 

Level 1
Residents in training with the course content closely allied to the EBCTS syllabus.
Level 2
