Abstract
Postgraduate specialist training is based on the UEMS Charter on specialist training in European Community (1993) and the document European Training Requirement, European Standards of Postgraduate Medical Specialist Training (ETR). The implementation of ETR in national systems indicates challenges in the education of trainees, the responsibility of mentors, role of training institution and quality management. The main challenge is competency based medical education (CBME), implementation of the CanMEDS competency framework. Emphasised is workplace assessment, including clinical skills and professional behaviour, the trainee’s progress assessed by the Entrusted Professional Activities (EPA) in specialist programmes. UEMS organises European specialist exams.
