European Training Curriculum for Rheumatology
| The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. |
The Rheumatology section of UEMS (Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialisteshttp://uems.net) has started a profound revision of its recommendations on the Core Curriculum for Specialist Training.1 This new version is intended to take into account modern perspectives of medical education, and especially to incorporate recent developments in rheumatology itself and its societal role.
The revision process will be undertaken by working groups within UEMS/Rheum throughout the first semester of 2007. The final document will be constructed around the seven roles of the specialist physician as proposed by the CanMeds Project2 and seek inspiration in well designed existing curricula (Denmark3; UK4; Canada5 and USA6).
All rheumatologists and interested institutions are invited to send in contributions in any form, including suggestions and criticism to the guiding documents referred above, guidelines from institutions working in the field or national regulations pertaining to this subject etc.
