AimThe GALEN Foundation Courses have been designed to familiarise young radiologists with the established approaches and most recent achievements in diagnostic imaging, related to topics across the modalities.
The courses are aimed at residents in their 1st, 2nd or 3rd year of training in radiology and are primarily assigned to the geographic area of south, central and eastern Europe. Board-certified radiologists are welcome to join as well.
Each programme is divided into organ-oriented lecture series and interactive workshops, offered by an internationally renowned European faculty.
All programmes have been specifically structured with the trainee radiologist in mind and are meant to deal with subjects of practical importance; they have an interactive character to encourage informal and free communication between participants and lecturers.

Galen was an ancient Greek physician whose teaching was influential all the way up to the Renaissance. His views dominated European medicine for over a thousand years and Galen’s work can be seen as building on the Hippocratic theories of the body.
