CAS-AM is a practice-oriented, post graduate education for medical doctors, based on problem-based learning and comprises, among others, small-group teaching, lectures, team projects and close interaction with European leaders in their field. In this highly interactive course faculty and participants mix and debate current and novel thrombosis management aspects, during 2x 4 days of physical encounter, with in-between online personal portfolio development. After 2 editions, 40 participants successfully completed this course with a certificate from Maastricht University.
