KV-/ DEGUM-recognised practical courses:

Our SONO2learn-online courses impart theoretical knowledge in an optimal and learning-intensive way. Pure online courses howerver cannot be DEGUM / OEGUM / SGUM certified; up to now this requires a practical hands-on part. SONO2learn does not offer hands-on courses.

Tab "Courses". You can recognise your activated courses by the green button "Start course".
Selection precision with 4 selection categories:
- Course type (basic course, AC etc.),
- Area (thorax/abdomen etc.),
- Organ or lecturer
The courses are numbered BC-Abd. 1, BC-Abd. 2. BC stands for basic course and AC for advanced course. Start course via "Play" button. Depending on your internet connection, it may take a few seconds and you may have to activate the "Play" button again until the streaming starts.
Have fun and learn successfully!

Quiz:

A final learning success check/quiz is an obligatory part of the training measure and comprises a catalogue of at least 10 multiple-choice questions per learning unit. The quiz consolidates the learning content through repetition and serves as a personal learning check.

You can access the quiz after entering your date of birth, place of birth and EFN under "Account" / "My data" (required by the Medical Association).
To pass, you must answer at least 70% of the questions correctly.
Otherwise, you can retake the quiz for the first time after 28 days and, if applicable, every 28 days thereafter at the earliest.
The last day of your contract period is also the last date to earn course-related CME points.

CME points and certificate:

As a rule, CME continuing education points are required by specialists, practising and authorised doctors.
Assistants, on the other hand, do not need CME points, as they are still undergoing further training anyway.
Our CME points:
(VNR: 276051202215714001)
- 102 CME: Complete package
(incl. the 24 GK Abdomen CME points / VNR 2760512021157240023) have been certified by the North Rhine Medical Association (https://www.aekno.de/page.asp?pageID=82). They are recognised supra-regionally and can be submitted. The recognition is applied for annually and is currently valid until 31.03.2023. Bookers of a "GK Thyroid" etc. therefore only receive CME points in the event of an upgrade to the complete package, as it is not the individual course but the complete package that has been certified by the AEK Nordrhein.
Bookers of a "GK Thyroid" etc. therefore only receive CME points in the event of an upgrade to the complete package, as it is not the individual course but the complete package that has been certified by the AEK Nordrhein.
For legal reasons, we can only credit you with CME points if you have completed all modules and successfully passed the final performance review with 70% correct answers.

Finally, please send us a short e-mail, e.g. via the contact form, with your postal address, date and place of birth and EFN.

Unfortunately, we still have to fill out and sign the certificate with the CME points "by hand"; we will then send you the original certificate by (snail) mail.
If you have booked our module "Sonography Basic Course Thorax/Abdomen" in conjunction with a modified basic course with practical exercises (see here), you may receive CME points from the course organiser for the practical part after taking part in the exercises (you have already acquired points for the theory module on the sono2learn site). For possible additional costs, please contact the respective organiser of the practical exercises in advance.
Our courses are certified for one year at a time. We then inform the Medical Association of the EFN of the course participants.
If, for whatever reason, you have not notified us of your EFN, you can contact the North Rhine Medical Association yourself after completing the relevant course package. After all, you have received a confirmation from us on which the certification number of the course is stated. You can use this at any time, even after the certification period has expired, to ask the Medical Association for credit for the CME points.
Unfortunately no.

Evaluation:

An evaluation of the training course by the participants is an obligatory part of the recognition by the North Rhine Medical Association. We therefore ask you to complete the evaluation form (further training evaluation of the North Rhine Medical Association) once (!!!) for the entire thorax/abdomen sonography basic course and make it available to sono2learn. Filling out this evaluation form is not compulsory. You will receive the continuing education points regardless of whether you have completed a sheet or not.
