EACTS ACADEMY
by EACTS
Developing skills and knowledge with a flexible programme
2022 marked a successful year for the EACTS Academy as we continue to grow our education programme, offering more courses and opportunities to learn from renowned experts. Over 1,000 members of the surgical community attended an Academy course over the past 12 months, with some courses selling out due to high demand. We made a welcome return to in-person learning in response to growing interest from our members. For the first time since the COVID pandemic, course attendees were able to gain valuable hands-on experiences and benefit from face-toface interaction.
The
OVER
However, it is crucial that our courses remain available to everyone regardless of location and circumstance and that’s why we continue to offer remote learning. The flexibility of online learning enables EACTS to extend our global reach to parts of the world with limited educational opportunities. Over the past 12 months our virtual Academy courses have attracted delegates from 46 different countries, including Africa and the Middle East. Feedback from delegates was overwhelmingly positive, with courses consistently receiving high rates of satisfaction and unanimous agreement that the Academy programme offers good value for money.

Expanding The Academy Programme
Across all four domains we regularly review the Academy programme to ensure we are addressing the latest research, techniques and innovations that have the potential to improve patient outcomes. The Vascular Disease Domain held its first four-part webinar series and the Thoracic Disease Domain added a number of new interactive webinars.
Recognising the benefits of a case-based education, the Residents Committee introduced regular online Case Corner sessions which provide a fantastic opportunity for residents and young surgeons to discuss and debate complex cases with fellow residents and a panel of renown specialists. The format is designed to improve the clinical experience; supporting clinical skills in diagnosis and decision making in cases, backed by clear scientific evidence. Feedback to date has been exceptional.
