The course has been submitted to the Royal College of Physicians for 18 CPD points and SCMR for level 1 certification. Previous courses have been approved by both organisations.

 Other Information:
This established course has been running for over 16 years; King’s provides an exceptional faculty of internationally renowned experts in the field of cardiac MRI.
It covers the basic principles of CMR, its clinical indications and role in a multi-modality imaging environment. Delegates will learn in lectures and cases sessions, at the end of the course they will have a solid understanding of when to refer a patient for Cardiovascular MRI and how to interpret CMR images and reporting.

Feedback from previous online courses:

• Excellent course, very comprehensive. Excellent faculty, thank you.
• Dr Chiribiri led the course very well. Friendly and helpful department.
• Exceptional faculty.
• I will be able to provide better medical advice to my patients and have a better understanding of CMR
• Attending from abroad, I prefer the online version. Excellent balance between talks, cases and interactivity.  Many thanks.
• I like the online format. Still able to interact as the number of delegates it kept to a good level. I gained a lot from the course. Thank you for organising an excellent course.
• This was my first formal teaching on cardiac MRI and was of huge benefit to my learning as a UK cardiology trainee.
• I am new to CMR, I learned many thinks. Too many things learned to list.
• I found the online format engaging and flexible for my needs.
• Very good, pitched at the right level for me with a lot of interesting cases. All speakers clearly passionate about their topics.
• I particularly enjoyed this course, and I am more interested now to learn more in the area of CMR, which was also one of my goals before enrolling in this course!
• Lots of care and effort
• Thank you very much, this has been an excellent course
• Very good course, good staff, very knowledgeable, I would recommend.
• Nice session, very capable and clear presenter. You could also see he enjoys the subject.
• Very good stage presence and explain everything so well using analogies and examples.
• Excellent variety of questions and cases, I learned a lot from it.
• It was my first introduction to cardiac MRI other than requesting the investigation and interpreting reports as a cardiology SpR.  I learned multiple useful indications for MRI and also started to understand some pattern recognition in reporting MRI images.  I learnt a lot about how different sequences and mapping can be used to differentiate between disease patterns and that techniques can be used to optimise images in challenging circumstances.
• All the topics were very well presented. learnt something in pretty much all the presentations.
• Made excellent safety points with brilliant videos.
• Explained challenging physics as simply as possible – I was surprised with how much I could grasp.
• So well explained and supplied notes were so good that I kept up with complex theory.
• One of the best-case series! Very easy understandable, a lot of learning points. Thank you all who participated to this course, it was really nice fruitful experience
