RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Update of the ERS international Adult Respiratory Medicine syllabus for postgraduate training JF Breathe JO Breathe FD European Respiratory Society SP 19 OP 28 DO 10.1183/20734735.019317 VO 14 IS 1 A1 Nathalie Tabin A1 Sharon Mitchell A1 Elaine O’Connell A1 Daiana Stolz A1 Gernot Rohde YR 2018 UL http://breathe.ersjournals.com/content/14/1/19.abstract AB First published in 2006, the first European core syllabus in Adult Respiratory Medicine was developed with the intention of harmonising education and training throughout Europe. Internationally recognised by the European Union of Medical Specialists and identified as the first document of its kind in respiratory medicine, it has provided a comprehensive guide for both local and national institutions in the development of adult respiratory training programmes.Like all fields in education, respiratory medicine is an ever-changing area and as such, respective syllabi, curricula and training programmes must adapt and diversify in line with the evolution of core medical concepts. Given the proven importance of the Adult Respiratory Medicine syllabus from both a national and international standpoint, it is of equal importance that said syllabus remains abreast of emerging trends so as to sustain the synchronisation of respiratory medicine in Europe. In order to develop an updated programme, a comprehensive review process of the current syllabus is a necessary endeavour and a step that the European Respiratory Society (ERS) has undertaken through the process of a needs assessment.Updated ERS international Adult Respiratory Medicine syllabus for postgraduate training http://ow.ly/Phyx30hSlyD
