Abstract
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.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Human Genetics is the official journal of the European Society of Human Genetics, publishing high-quality, original research papers, short reports and reviews in the rapidly expanding field of human genetics and genomics. It covers molecular, clinical and cytogenetics, interfacing between advanced biomedical research and the clinician, and bridging the great diversity of facilities, resources and viewpoints in the genetics community.
Key areas include:
-Monogenic and multifactorial disorders
-Development and malformation
-Hereditary cancer
-Medical Genomics
-Gene mapping and functional studies
-Genotype-phenotype correlations
-Genetic variation and genome diversity
-Statistical and computational genetics
-Bioinformatics
-Advances in diagnostics
-Therapy and prevention
-Animal models
-Genetic services
-Community genetics
