The UEMS Section and Board of Paediatric Surgery – EBPS - and the European Paediatric Surgeons' Association – EUPSA – have the pleasure to introduce the first edition of the European Syllabus in Paediatric Surgery.
The Syllabus sets out the optimal standards for training in Paediatric Surgery throughout Europe, and has to be intended as a reference document reflecting the general criteria laid down in the charter on training of medical specialists in the EU, to be read in conjunction with the existing national programs.
It defines the contents of training, the professional skills and attitudes requested to become a Paediatric Surgeon, the relationships between paediatric surgery and other related specialties, the details on training programs and training Institutions, the characteristics and requirements of trainers and trainees.
