European training requirements in neonatology 2021—towards a unified training standard for neonatologists
- Abstract:
- The European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) first developed recommendations for a Neonatology specific European training curriculum in 1998, with updates in 2007 and 2021. The aim of these recommendations was to define a common, European standard of training for national educational programmes for Neonatologists. Following the Union of European Medical Specialists’ (UEMS) framework of European Training Requirements (ETR), and similar to the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) recommendations, graduates of training programmes conforming to the ETR will be eligible throughout Europe for recognition of equality of training, and with that should be enabled to freedom-of-movement. This concept also accounts for neonatal specialists. We therefore present the pan-European work on the ETR Neonatology in its third iteration (ETR III), summarising the basic requirements for contemporary training programmes, trainers, and training centres in neonatology. We highlight the European School of Neonatology (ESN) as a comprehensive online educational platform which provides the theoretical and practical background to satisfy the ETR-III. Lastly, we introduce the European Board of Neonatal & Child Health Research (EBNCHR) as a committee dedicated to gaining acceptance for the concept of harmonising education and training in Neonatology and recognising Neonatology as a Paediatric subspecialty in every European Union member state.
