Course objectives

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death and disability in most European countries. Secondary prevention has become a cornerstone of treatment, but a majority of patients do not achieve guideline standards, predisposing them to progression of disease, recurrent events, and heart failure. Modern preventive cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation programmes, appropriately adapted to medical and cultural settings, have the potential to effectuate a healthier lifestyle, better risk factor control and adherence with cardioprotective medication. However, in most European countries,

less than 50% of cardiac patients attend these programmes. There is a clear need to improve the situation by increasing the number of programmes, facilitating the access to these programmes, and tailoring these programmes to the requirements of the patients. Moreover, the fixed-term and often centre-based programmes have to be modified based on patients preferences and provide concepts for long-term management. The World Health Organisation underscores in their action plan for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases the importance of improving quality and coverage of secondary prevention and rehabilitation following heart attacks and stroke.

Target audience

This course is addressed to the multidisciplinary team of specialists working in the field of secondary prevention, cardiac rehabilitation, and sports cardiology, encompassing cardiologists, sports physicians, physiotherapists, sports scientists and nurses.

The event “Preventive Cardiology, Sports Cardiology & Exercise based Rehabilitation: From Set-up to New Frontiers” is accredited by the European Union of Medical Specialists - The European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (UEMS-EACCME) for 24 hours of External CME credits.

We thank you in advance for your support.

This year we conduct the 18th edition of the Euroderm Excellence Training Program: a unique course offered to the best and brightest Residents in Dermato-Venereology throughout Europe. Since 2004, meetings have been held in Italy, from 2014 to 2018 we switched to Nice, in the South of France, and in 2019 we returned back to Rome. The theme of the Euroderm Excellence 2021, which will be held in Rome, is “From knowledge to paradigms in Dermatology”.

This course is organized by the European Dermatology Forum, a non-profit professional organization dedicated to improving the healthcare needs of Dermatology patients in Europe.

Participating in Euroderm Excellence is a privilege. We aim to provide you with an outstanding teaching program covering up to date and practical knowledge in the different fields of Dermato-Venereology.  Moreover, we want to offer the selected Residents an opportunity to share time and experience with their peers from all over Europe, and to have a chance to interact with a panel of the leading experts in Dermatology and Venereology.

Dermatologists from all over Europe will be attending the virtual course to deliver during 3 days the best of their knowledge to provide the attendees with the highest standard of European education on dermatological science. The task of this experienced international Faculty will be to provide an "in-depth" and "hands-on" course covering the most important aspects of dermatological practice. The ultimate objective is to stimulate your mind and help foster your goal of becoming a vital part in shaping the future of our discipline.
