Education Overview

Education is a key driver towards improved quality patient care. The challenge is to implement a consistent educational programme that would transcend borders and language and meet accreditation standards set forth by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME).

The education platform at EUROSPINE supports life long learning. We do this through our important annual general and spring specialty meetings but also through our education programme.

Our diploma programmes focus on:

Young surgeon training: the EUROSPINE Diploma
Advanced surgeon training: post graduate training and the EUROSPINE Advanced Diploma (fellowships & advanced course modules)
Empowering spine care professionals of all specialties: the EUROSPINE Diploma in Interprofessional Spine Care (EDISC)
