Union Europeenne des Medecins Specialistes or European Union of Medical Specialists

UEMS is a European organisation of medical specialists and the ORL section is our division within this structure representing Ear, Nose and Throat doctors. Our goal is to offer the best possible care for all Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery patients present across Europe. Harmonisation of training is one of the most important tools to achieve this and is also important in terms of free movement of labor within the European Union. For this purpose, UEMS-ORL has written European Training Requirements (ETR) and a logbook for our residents. Both these documents can be found on this web site. Furthermore, we have published logbooks for our different subspecialities of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and it is our duty to ensure that all this previous work will continue to be revised and updated as time goes by, so as to reflect the advances in our field.
