From a medical perspective, the unification of Europe has resulted in an increasing number of physicians crossing borders and practicing in different countries. In order to ensure and maintain a high level of healthcare across Europe, the European Union (EU) has displayed its intent to achieve a harmonised definition of medical education and training. The EU adopted a directive (2005/36/EC) dictating the equality of diplomas and medical board certificates within the EU. Despite a number of initiatives such as the “Lifelong Learning Programme: education and training opportunities” for which the ERASMUS (European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) is a sub-programme aimed at harmonising medical education during the early phases of medical training [2], there is a need to standardise knowledge and skills at later career stages, in order to guarantee and harmonise the quality of patient care in Europe.

Throughout Europe, respiratory medicine specialty training includes at different levels of competence, knowledge of treatment of acute respiratory care, noninvasive mechan- ical ventilation, and general principles of intensive care based on the responses of a survey discussed later in this article, critical care medicine is a subspecialty of pulmonology or respiratory medicine in general or internal medicine, and not a specialty of its own.
