Description
Application
Any full-time recognised intensivist who has attended a basic course in echocardiography in the last two years can apply for EDEC.
It will be required to document your position as a full-time intensivist and to provide a certificate of attendance for the basic course. Also you will need to identify a local mentor and a supervisor.
- ESICM member users: complete the EDEC application form (My Esicm> My Edec > Edec Profile)
- Non ESICM member users: create an ESICM account & complete the EDEC application form (My Esicm> My Edec > Edec Profile)
As a final step in the application process, provisional payment (via credit card) must be provided. Please note that ESICM will only process the charges once the application is accepted.*
*Some financial institutions may provisionally deduct the fee immediately upon entering the credit card data during registration, however these funds are held by the individual bank – not ESICM, so any issues must be resolved by the candidate with their own bank.
