Events ERACS Course
Implement an ERACS program with practical and theoretical guidance from the UZ Leuven cardiac team. Benefit from peer-to-peer learning through evidence-based presentations and immersive, hands-on sessions.

For the best implementation, we advise attending with a multidisciplinary team consisting of, but not limited to:

• Cardiac anesthesiologist
• Nurse practitioner
• Intensivist
• Physiotherapist
