Teaching of key players such as young doctors, neurologists, general practitioners and all those involved in headache
management about the seriousness of headache disorders is fundamental in the battle to overcome headache
disorders and ensure patients across Europe receive the best possible care.

The EHF eHeadache School is an educational website where learners access core curriculum content for the study,
diagnosis, and treatment of headache. The content is highly interactive and includes text, videos, graphics, and questions
with feedback.

The EHF is constantly working to ensure all headache disorder sufferers across Europe are provided with the most
effective care available and we are very excited to launch this first-of-a-kind eSchool from the EHF. Now, more
professionals than ever before will have access to our robust educational content, encouraging learning and
interaction which fits around individuals busy schedules, says Prof. R. Jensen, President of the EHF.

In support of this educational mission, the European Headache Federation has partnered with Kenes Education to create
the EHF eHeadache School. The three e-learning courses included in the initial launch are:

Cluster Headache: Clinical Presentation and Treatment Options
Chronic Migraine: Clinical Presentation and Pathophysiology
Chronic Migraine: Treatment Options

The e-learning courses will be submitted to the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
(UEMS-EACCME) for internationally recognized CME/CPD credits. Until then all modules will be in beta-version.
Access to the EHF eHeadache School is open to all learners at no cost.

As of 18 September 2014 the EHF eHeadache School may be accessed by visiting: www.ehf-eheadacheschool.com.

The EHF is thrilled about its new venture into online learning and welcomes questions about the eHeadache School
launch, future courses, and industry support and grant opportunities.

disorders and their impact amongst governments, health care providers and consumers across Europe.

The initiative is made possible through generous educational grants from Allergan EAME and Linde Healthcare. The

supporters.
