Frequently Asked Questions
Should I apply for a Resident EADV course or a Specialist EADV course?
- Resident Courses are open exclusively to EADV Junior Dermatology Resident/Junior Scientist Members who are currently in training. If you have already obtained a Specialist diploma in Dermatology and later pursue a PhD or a sub-specialty residency, you are not eligible to apply for Resident Courses.
- Specialist Courses are open only to EADV Members who are certified as specialists in Dermatology. Residents are not eligible to apply, even if they are interested in the course topic.
- In addition to Resident and Specialist Courses, EADV also offers Combined Courses, which are open to both Residents and Specialists.
Doctors interested in registering for any of these courses must do so through the dedicated sections on our face-to-face courses webpage or Learning Platform.
I am currently a Resident, but I will obtain my Specialist diploma before the Resident course I would like to attend. What should I do?
You are allowed to apply for a Resident Course as long as you are still a Resident at the time of your application.
The delay between the application deadline and the course date will not affect your eligibility, provided that your application is submitted while you are still a Resident.
May I enrol for a Resident or Specialist course if I am not from or working in a European country?
Yes.
May I apply for multiple EADV courses?
Yes.
I am not a EADV member. May I apply for a course?

- Your membership dues are fully settled for the year in which the course takes place.
- You attend the entire course to qualify for the grant and receive your certificate of participation.
Is the EADV taking care of my travel arrangements?
