This was another really good Euroson School event, organised by the Romanian Society of Ultrasonography, focusing on ultrasound in emergencies, fulfilling all EFSUMB requirements, with topics of emergencies in abdominal, thoracic, urological, gynecological, musculoskeletal, and other diseases. An unrivalled number of participants - 234 medical doctors - attended this Euroson School and made it a truly memorable teaching and learning event with participants following the lectures, asking clever questions and giving comments from their own experience. This once more proved the high standards of clinical ultrasonography in Romania in all relevant fields of ultrasonography, as was obvious to the invited speakers from other European countries (from Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Spain). The programme and organizing committee - headed by Radu Badea and Petru Mircea, both from Cluj Napoca, and Ioan Sporea from Timisoara - had set up a syllabus, and an evaluation test several pages length concluded the course. As the social event on the last evening, a short organ concert at the Roman Catholic Church, led from working with ultra-sound to the beauties of audible sound to relax from intense listening, lecturing, and learning. This was also the case later in the evening with dancing. An EFSUMB certificate of participation was handed out to all colleagues successfully fulfilling the given criteria.

It is suggested to all our member societies try to arrange such successful and high quality teaching also under EFSUMB criteria and support (see www.efsumb.org, and click "bylaws").

The next Euroson School course in Romania is already being planned for the end of May 2007, to be held in Craiova, with a probable focus on hepato (-biliary) disease.
