Project Summary

Societatea Romana de Chirurgie Vasculara is a private institution, active in the educational and social fields. We aim to promote the culture of lifelong learning through active involvement of all community members in developing a coherent strategy for implementing the concept and practice of “learning throughout life”. This strategy represents the success factor for the transition of the Romanian society towards a Knowledge Era.
The project “Opportunities for professional development in the treatment of below-the-knee (BTK) vascular disease” has developed a model for lifelong learning across vascular surgery in the EU by involving practitioners from 4 countries in creating new protocol, new training and training tools and experience them in a multicultural challenging project-based context, in their working context and outreaching to colleagues into daily interaction. In the end we have developed a group of “surgical change agents” ready to promote lifelong learning as an essential skill to any surgeon.
The project is a sustainable project and developed innovative practices.
We have worked to:
– Create a curriculum for the treatment of BTK vascular disease in Europe and to create completely updated teaching materials;
– Promote entrepreneurship education, support future learning and career pathways for individuals, in accordance with their personal and professional development;
– Update and improve instructors knowledge and improve related professional groups
– Create a network of stakeholders at local and regional level for keeping the attention of decision makers and other relevant institutions about this area of expertise
