Virtual school on lung transplantation – advanced level

The virtual school on lung transplantation will provide state-of-the-art knowledge on a wide array of issues regarding lung transplantation. It will include innovative and interactive sessions such as pro/con debates or the study of cases from participants.

Through its basic and advanced-level programmes, the virtual school caters to the educational needs of participants with a basic and advanced understanding of the subject. Each programme will last half a day and it will be delivered online. All sessions will be recorded and made available to registered participants after the events.

This web page is dedicated to the advanced level edition. You may register for both the basic and advanced level programmes.

Throughout the advanced programme, participants will gain an insight into chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), definition, phenotypes, and pathogenesis. Similarly, participants will learn about lymphoproliferative disease, other malignancies, non-heart-beating donors, and ex-vivo donor lung perfusion.

This course has been granted 4 CME credits by the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP). The number of credits that you will receive will correspond to the time you spend watching the course while it livestreams.
