The development of European training standards is a major contribution to the improvement of medical training at the European level and one of the core activities of the European Union of Medical Specialists (Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes, UEMS). European Training Requirements for the specialty of Medical Genetics (ETR-MG) were first developed and approved in 2017. Here we report the content and objectives of the 2023 revision, carried out by the ETR-MG Working Group and the officers of the UEMS Section of Medical Genetics in close cooperation with the ESHG and the European Board of Medical Genetics (EBMG). New aspects concern an update of the description of the specialty, the integration of the examination for the European Certificate in Medical Genetics and Genomics (ECMGG), a complete restructuring of the syllabus, and the adaption to novel concepts of medical education.
欧洲培训标准的制定对提升欧洲层面的医学培训做出了重大贡献,也是欧洲医学专家联盟(Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes, UEMS)的核心活动之一。医学遗传学专业的欧洲培训要求(ETR-MG)于2017年首次制定并获批。在此,我们报告由ETR-MG工作组以及UEMS医学遗传学分会的官员与欧洲人类遗传学学会(ESHG)和欧洲医学遗传学委员会(EBMG)密切合作进行的2023年修订的内容和目标。新的方面包括对该专业描述的更新、欧洲医学遗传学与基因组学证书(ECMGG)考试的整合、教学大纲的全面重组以及对医学教育新概念的适应。
