Join us from 27-29 June in Zurich for a 2-day workshop
The ESCRS practice management team is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Trinity College (Dublin) Business School Executive Education programme. Trinity College offers one of the top-ranked MBA programmes in Europe.
Beginning with the June workshop, the ESCRS will be working with Trinity to deliver business and practice management courses and workshops that are geared specifically for ESCRS members.
The Leadership, Business & Innovation Practice Management Weekend, Zurich, Switzerland 27/06/2025 - 29/06/2025, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 12.5 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 https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications. 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.
Workshop Programme
1 - Finance in a day For Ophthalmologists
Led by Trinity Adjunct Professor Hilary Hough, this session is based on Trinity’s workshop on Finance for Healthcare Professionals.

2 - What you really need to know about AI right now
Join AI Business School Co-Founder/Chief Commercial Officer Vanessa Foser as she helps to cut through all of the noise and hype about AI and focuses in on what ophthalmologists need to know today about use of AI in clinical practice. Based in Zurich, the AI Business School supports organizations in their digital transformation by combining people empowerment (digital awareness creation and training programs) with business impact creation. Ms Foser and her team are leading in making workforces literate in (Generative) AI and its everyday use/ application.
