CVIR Editors Gerard Goh, John Kaufman, and Bien Soo Tan hosted a workshop at the APSCVIR annual congress in Bangkok, Thailand on May 4, 2024.

Participants in this session gained useful tips on scientific writing from an esteemed panel of speakers with decades of experience. Topics covered include writing structure, responding to reviewers, and a practical walkthrough of an example paper to highlight common mistakes and how to avoid them. 

CVIR is once again teaming up with AJIR, the official journal of the Pan Arab Interventional Radiology Society, to host a workshop on scientific writing at PAIRS 2024 in Dubai, UAE. The workshop is suitable both for researchers early in their careers who would like to acquire practical skills as well as experienced researchers wishing to refine their writing.

The workshop will address key issues, including:

•   Improving manuscript structure

•   International reporting guidelines

The Scientific Writing Workshop has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education (EACCME®) with 7 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist
should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American
Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA
Category 1 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be
found at www.ama-assn.org/education/earn-credit-participation-international-activities.

Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for
ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the
Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

This workshop is the first in-person scientific writing workshop offered by CIRSE that will offer up to 9 CME credits to participants. We have gathered some of the most distinguished IRs in the field with extensive editorial experience as well as seasoned workshop leader Dr. John Carpenter to guide you in this hands-on, practical workshop.

The workshop took place in advance of ET 2022, CIRSE's dedicated annual conference on embolotherapy. More details on ET 2022 can be found here.
