As their site explains: "The lectures are prepared by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia staff in weeklong modules that are prepared in affiliation with the American Austrian Foundation Open Medical Institute and presented in Salzburg, Austria. CHOP Open-access Medical Education is supported by a generous grant from the Leir Foundation. Please note that courses presented here have been tailored for their audience in Salzburg, and they may contain stats and information not applicable to all demographics."
