The course is open to Emergency Care Clinicians, Laboratorians, Nurses and other health care workers practising in European countries who are able to reach the standard as set out in the 'Selection Criteria'.

The trainees who successfully complete the course will form the nucleus of an ETIDE network and will be expected to return to their own countries to transmit to others the knowledge and skills gained on the course. The ETIDE partners will evaluate this by requiring each trainee to produce six and twelve monthly reports, agreed by their national health authority, to be submitted to the Commission, via the ETIDE coordinating team.

Each course will be held at the Institute of Infectious Diseases, L. Spallanzani, Rome and all travel and subsistence costs (within set limits) will be paid for by the Institute.

If you are interested in attending one of the courses, please contact either Anna Prygodzicz, ETIDE Coordinator, or Ramona Iacovino, ETIDE Secretary at etide.course@inmi.it
