Within the framework of the second objective, the NASKHO organizes an annual minimum of 11 postgraduate courses, with the aim of providing knowledge and expertise to local paramedics, doctors and specialists. The NASKHO postgraduate courses have now become a consistent and continuous postgraduate education program and enjoy great interest (average more than 150 participants per course). The courses are usually accredited by the respective professional associations (in the Netherlands). In addition to traditional postgraduate courses, NASKHO provides organizational, logistical and / or financial support to other medical education courses, whether or not in collaboration with international (professional) organizations.

NASKHO will be celebrating its 55th anniversary. The Board decided that the time is ripe for innovation. Continuous professional education is one of the main targets of the board and besides the education through congresses, NASKHO wants to make use of the modern ways people are educated.

Teach-the-teacher
Medical professionals benefit from continuous development in the educational field. For NASKHO this is an important step in the quality of education. Continuous learning is very important in the life of a medical professional and essential for performance in his or her profession.  Because teaching also is an important part of his activities, NASKHO wants to create the possibility to learn how to transfer his knowledge to the interns, residents, nurses, or colleagues. When working in a teaching hospital it is important to know about didactics and NASKHO wants to create this possibility

Education
In the coming years, NASKHO wants to make use of what e-learning modules can offer. Homemade, with topics relevant to the region, but also in collaboration with university hospitals from the rest of the world.

Webcasts
Also being able to attend conferences online is on the wish list of NASKHO. In this region, it is not always easy to visit a congress. Online conference attendance, saving time and money, gives the future participant the possibility to log in and take part.

These are all wishes for the future. We are working on it!

CPE stands for Continuous Medical Education.

There are few occupational groups where development is as fast as in medical science. It is therefore also necessary for physicians and other medical professionals to continue to graduate continuously. To facilitate this process, NASKHO can count on the extensiveness and support of our CPE partners.
