Overview

IMPORTANT CHANGES

***The EUROSPINE Advanced Diploma will be phased out in the coming year/s. Advanced Modules 1 and 2 will still be available and can be completed on their own, but are not tied to a fellowship.

We are currently working on a transition plan that allows individuals who have started their fellowship (or will still be doing a fellowship in the near future) to have an appropriate transition time to complete all requirements to achieve the Advanced Diploma is it currently stands.

Please watch this space for further information on the process of these changes***

For questions please contact the Education Team at .

The Advanced Diploma is available to applicants who have:

1.	Completed the EUROSPINE Basic Diploma (either with EUROSPINE directly or through the Diploma Equivalence Programme).
2.	Completed the 2 modules of the Advanced Course (either with EUROSPINE, EANS as of 2017, Turkish Spine Society or DWG as of 01.01.2018).
3.	Completed a 6-months validated fellowship.

Target Audience

Confirmed spine specialists and trained surgeons who have completed their EUROSPINE Diploma or trained and practicing surgeons with more than 2 years experience.

Learning Outcomes

There is a need to provide practicing surgeons with a reference based, standardised curriculum in managing revisions and complications and in extended indications and advanced operative techniques.

Obtain the EUROSPINE Advanced Diploma

All three requirements listed above are necessary to obtain the Advanced Diploma. The Basic Course Modules as well as the Advanced Course Modules are offered by EUROSPINE during its EduWeek or by partner societies through the Diploma Equivalence Programme. The 6-months fellowship needs to be formally validated by EUROSPINE through a separate fellowship validation process. Requests for validation must be completed before asking for the Advanced Diploma (proof of course completion and fellowship validation will be requested when applying). It is recommended but not mandatory to complete the fellowship in EUROSPINE's Endorsed Host Training Centres.

Once you have completed all Modules of the Basic and Advanced Course and your fellowship has been validated by EUROSPINE, you can request to receive your Advanced Diploma.

A fee of €100 for administration, printing and shipping will be charged.
