Overview
The EUROSPINE Diploma is made up of 6 Modules. All 6 Modules must be completed in order to obtain the EUROSPINE Diploma which is now respected on a European level by many spinal societies and federations who remain involved and informed on the project developments. EUROSPINE has developed standards and policies in key areas of spinal post graduate training that follow a strict quality control to maintain consistency of the content.
Module 6 (Literature course) is only mandatory in order to obtain the EUROSPINE Diploma for participants who have started taking their diploma courses as of 2020. Participants who have started taking their modules before 2020 do not need to complete this module to obtain their diploma.
The importance of continuous medical education is self-evident to spine professionals. As spinal treatment strategies progress, the necessity to update one’s knowledge increases. It is expected that the European Community will recognise the need to establish a certification on the basis of this initiative, for this purpose, an official Multidisciplinary Joint Committee has been created at UEMS.
