Required attendance rate to the BIUCGM course

Annually, 12 course moments are provided, namely: 4 entire week-days counting for 4x2 = 8 course moments (half-day attendance = 1 course moment; entire day = 2 course moments); the Winter Meeting (= 2 course moments) and the Journées d'Automne in Liège (= 2 course moments). In three years the maximum of course moments = 36 (24 for attending BIUCGM courses and 12 for attending the Wintermeeting or Journées d'Automne).

The required attendance rate during geriatric training is different for the French and the Dutch recognition committee:
