The aim of the Goethe CVI® Affiliation is to achieve the clinical competency in CMR, defined by a minimum equivalent of EuroCMR level II Accreditation or SCCT level II.The pathway to complete Goethe CVI® Affiliation will be defined individually,  in line with the previous experience. Induction training can be undertaken by a hospitation at our institution arranged either directly with us or as a a part of Clinical Observership.
