The web lectures of the REVAC module – Renal Expert in Vascular Access – are almost ready.

As for the REMAP, to build up this module we have involved teachers of the partner universities. The lessons will also be topics during the “Meet the Expert” meetings, an opportunity to talk and interact with the teachers about their lessons.

The news of N-PATH reached the local Italian media, which asked for a short interview with Prof. Gesualdo about the role of the Bari University in the project.

Here is an excerpt from the interview done:

The much anticipated Digital Pathology seminar was held from 6th to 8th December.

The pandemic forced the organization to convert the lessons into digital, but participation was attentive and enthusiastic.
Lecturers from the Amsterdam UMC University presented challenging topics to the residents who reacted with great interest.

Thanks to teachers Florquin and Roelofs for their invaluable guidance.

The first N-PATH Multiplier event, organized by ERA, was held on 24 September in Parma.

Many were the participants, in presence and virtual, and it was an excellent opportunity for the partners to talk about their activities in the N-PATH project. The agenda included the presentation of the whole consortium, the e-learning website demonstration and a practical session with physical and virtual simulators in order to show the potential of the N-PATH training methodology.

The enthusiasm of the 40 selected residents was tangible, even if virtual. The event was fully streamed and promoted through major channels.
