Logbook and ETR documents approved 2020

It gives the UEMS-ORL Board the greatest pleasure to report to you that on Saturday 17 October 2020, the Council of the UEMS and National Medical Associations of Europe confirmed and approved the European Training Requirements in general ORL and the ORL general logbook.

This is the first time that our training standards and logbook have been submitted to, and successfully recognized and acknowledged by EU Medical Associations.

The documents have taken two years of hard work of preparation and were successfully defended in Council. We appreciate your dedication and commitment and also the feedback from the Boards of the following societies which make these documents truly pan-European

  •      European Rhinologic Society
  •      European Laryngologic Society
  •      European Academy of Otology and Neuro-Otology
  •      European Society of Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology
  •      European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery
  •      European Head and Neck Society
  •      European Academy of Phoniatricians

As you can imagine there was significant behind-the -scenes diplomacy, hard work and teamwork by the Board to bring this event to its successful conclusion and surmount several obstacles.
We look forward to the future with a unified European ORL voice comprising UEMS-ORL, our European Board examination partners EBEORL-HNS and the European confederation CEORL-HNS.
