  • Title: [Surgery education in Europe].
    Author: Witte J.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1999; 124(10):919-22. PubMed ID: 10596051.
    Abstract:
    Due to European law all examinations taken by officially recognized national boards have to be accepted in every member state. In 1958 the UEMS was founded on behalf of the European Council. Several Divisions in the "Section of Surgery" and the "European Board of Surgery" have to define the content and duration of their knowledge within the common trunk as well for the division's specialty itself. European Examinations today are offered in Surgery and Vascular Surgery. Continuing Medical Education is not yet organised officially in all member-states. East European countries start to harmonize their structure due to the demands of the UEMS. The charter on continuing Medical Education was established by the UEMS in 1998. This concept was also accepted by the national authorities in Germany and will be officially structured in our country very soon.
