EXMINT

In addition to ECMINT, which focuses on the theoretical basis for the full neurointerventional spectrum, ESMINT started EXMINT in 2018, a separate course dedicated to those physicians who want to perform only stroke treatment.

One EXMINT cycle comprises two 5-day courses, including lectures, small group tutorials, debates, and tests. The final examination will take place every September, prior to the annual ESMINT Congress in Nice, France.

Information about the European Diploma in Ischemic Stroke Intervention (EDSI) examination

The 2022 EDSI examination took place on 13th May 2022 virtually. It consisted solely of a written part in the shape of a 3-hour exam with 100 questions (each with 4 – 5 sub-questions.)

The exam was divided into two 90-minute sessions with a short (10 or 15 min) break in between.

The candidates’ answers were analyzed by Orzone in consultation with the ESMINT Examination Committee. The passmark was set using a recognized standard-setting methodology such as Cohen. Candidates received their results within 6 – 8 weeks of taking the examination.
