EDiPR - European Diploma in Paediatric Radiology

About

The ESPR launched the European Educational Curriculum & Diploma in Paediatric Radiology (EDiPR) in 2017. The Education and Professional Development Committee of the ESPR is responsible for the organization of the educational curriculum, examinations and diploma.

The EDiPR:

  • represents a significant qualification in paediatric radiology
  • is the first step towards transnational harmonisation of paediatric radiological standards in Europe
  • will assist paediatric radiologists in the promotion of their skills and experience when dealing with other colleagues and with the general public
  • stands for a standard of paediatric radiology education across Europe through attendance of eligible courses. Proof of knowledge in paediatric radiology is provided by passing four individual course examinations followed by a final examination covering the whole curriculum.
  • confirms proof of subspecialized education in addition to national qualifications and fellowships and by no means can replace these national qualifications or fellowships.
  • is endorsed by the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) and all courses are accredited by the European Board of Radiology (EBR) and European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).

Upcoming examination

Due to the cancellation of the ESPR 2020 Annual Meeting, there is currently no EDiPR examination scheduled.

In case of any questions, please contact the ESPR Office (office@espr.org).

ECPR - European Course in Paediatric Radiology

ECPR – European Course in Paediatric Radiology

Each year ESPR organizes one course with the aim to cover the ESR training curriculum as much as possible on one of the following specific topics:

  • Paediatric chest imaging including neck and cardiovascular
  • Paediatric musculoskeletal imaging including systemic diseases
  • Paediatric abdominal imaging

Emergencies, fetal and interventional level I and II lectures are all delivered within these topics.

Every two years, an additional Paediatric Neuroradiology (Module 1) course is organised in cooperation with ESNR – European Society of Neuroradiology.
