Extract
At the end of his mandate, Gernot Rohde (European Respiratory Society (ERS) Education Council Chair 2014–2017) and the ERS Education Council had the opportunity to reflect on the goals achieved over 3 years and the challenges in implementing continuing professional development (CPD) programmes for our respiratory specialists. The third ERS Education Research Seminar took place in Frankfurt, Germany, in June 2017 with >30 international experts in medical education and respiratory medicine. >1 year later, we can now reflect on the ERS Education Seminar, the achievements of the Education Council over 3 years, and the continuing path to better understand the education needs of practicing respiratory medicine specialists. This article reflects on the core principles of medical education and offers a reflection on CPD for respiratory professionals within ERS Education.
