Since December 2018, the European Society of Head and Neck Radiology has been organising monthly online webinars featuring specialists from all over the world. The topics of these webinars are designed for radiologists and residents in radiology with an interest in head and neck imaging and focus on in-depth knowledge of the pertinent anatomy, pathology, clinical-radiologic and imaging-related issues in the field of head and neck and maxillo-facial radiology. The learning objectives are oriented on the Head and Neck chapters of the European Training Curriculum for Radiology.
Every month (exception August & December) there is one webinar organised free of charge for all interested persons, members and non-members. The webinar recordings are available for active members only. The duration of each webinar is 60 minutes including the presentation and a short Q&A session at the end.
Please note that webinar registrations are issued to an individual person and may neither be shared nor transferred to others under any circumstances. The use of automated systems, AI tools, or any form of proxy attendance in place of the actual attendee is strictly prohibited. Such actions are considered a violation of our participation policy and may lead to consequences, including revocation of the Certificate of Attendance, denial of CME credits and/or exclusion from future ESHNR educational activities. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining the integrity of our educational offerings.
UEMS CME Accreditation 2025
We are pleased to inform you that all regular webinars 2025 have been granted 1 European CME credit (ECMEC®s) by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®).
Attendees need to attend the live webinar AND evaluate the webinar to receive the CME certificate.
The certificate of attendance/CME certificate will be sent approx. 1 week after the live webinar.
