During the UEMS Council, Dr. Ruth Brown, President of the UEMS Section of Emergency medicine has presented the new European Training Requirements on Emergency medicine. 

These ETR are the product of exchanges between the Section of Emergency medicine and the other UEMS bodies and collaborative work with the European Society for Emergency Medicine (EUSEM), and further, of exchanges between the Section of Emergency medicine and the other UEMS bodies, notably to clear potential overlaps with other medical specialties.

The first ETRs in Emergency medicine were adopted in 2019. Medical specialists being disciplines on constant evolution, as much as evolve training practices evolve, the UEMS Section of Emergency medicine has worked on updating these ETRs to reflect the most up-to-date requirements in the training of specialists in emergency medicine.

Following presentation of this thorough updating work, the full members of the UEMS were invited to vote on this new document, and unanimously adopted it.
