European Training Requirements for GP/FM specialist training PDF
WONCA Europe and its teaching organization EURACT have produced several important documents
on the definition and description of the General Practice/Family Medicine (GP/FM) specialty.
EURACT
specifically dealt with the different aspects of education in GP/FM – from undergraduate to specialist
education – and also incorporated continuous medical education/continuous professional
development.
EURACT has documented the European landscape of specialist training for GP/FM:
there are some common features but also great diversity.
EURACT’s subcommittee, the “Specialist Training Committee” has taken the initiative to make a
compilation of the many educational documents (from 2006 to 2014) and to add some
recommendations for Specialist GP/FM training in Europe.
It is our hope that this document can be used as an inspiration and guidance for all countries to bring
their GP/FM specialist education and training to the highest standards, warranting registration of
GP/FM as a medical specialty.
The patients in GP/FM across Europe deserve excellently trained
specialists in GP/FM.
