The mission of the European Board of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) is to the ensure a consistent and high-level education for PRM physicians across Europe. An important action to accomplish this mission is the publication and continuous update of the European Training Requirements (ETRs) for the specialty of PRM. The first version of the ETRs for PRM was issued in 2017. The aim was to present the up-to-date training standards for trainees, trainers, and training institutions. The revision of the first ETRs, aiming to reflect the current standards in medical education and clinical advances in the field or PRM, started in 2022 and was completed in 2023. It was based on the Rehabilitation Competency Framework and the "Guide for using a contextualised competency framework to develop rehabilitation programmes and their curricula" published by the WHO in 2021. An important addition in the new version of the ETRs is the integration of Entrustable Professional Activities. In all endeavours of the creation of the ETRs, setting the highest standards of training in PRM was pursued.
