1st ETR Conference - Conference on UEMS European Training Requirements

These times invite all involved in medical education and postgraduate training to advance harmonized high European standards and practices in a spirit of inclusivity, transparency and dialogue on important educational topics and innovations

Dear Colleagues,

The UEMS European Training Requirements (ETRs) represent the consensus view of the

National Medical Associations and Specialist Bodies of our organisation for high standards in

modern medical specialist training and education in Europe.

An ETR describes, in three parts, the requirements for all participants in the training process:

trainees, trainers and training institutions. The UEMS ETRs promote progress in postgraduate

education. They are conceptualised and composed according to the principles of

Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) and they foster patient-centred care. The post-

Covid era poses great challenges for the current educational practice. These times invite all

involved in medical education to advance postgraduate training in a spirit of inclusivity and

transparency, and to foster dialogue on important educational topics and innovations.

The UEMS cordially invites all members of the UEMS community, the European Scientific

Societies, National Scientific Societies, Academies, Universities and Medical Schools,

European Medical Organisations and delegates from relevant European political bodies to

take part in the discussions and share their experiences, opinions and ideas.
