Introduction  \nIn 2014, the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes (UEMS, European Union of Medical Specialists) Multidisciplinary Joint Committee and the European Board in Intensive Care Medicine (MJCICM and EBICM) established the training requirements for the Core Curriculum of Multidisciplinary Intensive Care Medicine as Common training requirements (CTR ICM) based on CoBaTrICE and other relevant documents and concepts. This CTR ICM has now been adopted by the UEMS Council and will be presented to the European Commission.  \nThe European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) aims to have Intensive Care Medicine asa multidisciplinary field accessible by several medical specialties and focusing on the competences required to provide high-quality care, irrespective of the primary specialty. The aim of the ESICM examination for the European Diploma in Intensive Care Medicine is to promote standards in education and training in intensive care medicine in Europe and across the world. The exam is intended to be complementary to specialist postgraduate medical training and the taking of the two components of the exam should correspond to stages of experience/training in Intensive Care Medicine. The aim of the written exam (EDIC part I) is to test the specific theoretical Intensive Care Medicine knowledge, whereas the oral part (EDIC part II) aims to test the competencies, expertise and professional conduct at the end of the specific training (2-3 years) in Intensive Care Medicine.  \n2. General Concept  \n2.1. Eligibility  \nCandidates for the exam need to be fully registered Medical Doctors (i.e. internship completed) . They should be enrolled in , or have completed, a national training programme in a primary specialty. These  \nmay include Anaesthesiology, General/Internal Medicine (and other medical specialities), General Surgery (and other surgical specialities), Accident & Emergency Medicine, Paediatrics or Intensive Care Medicine (if it is a primary speciality) .  \nIntensive Care Medicine training should be undertaken in modules of dedicated, full-time, supervised training in Intensive Care Medicine. Admission criteria are:  \n• EDIC Part I entry criteria are:  \n1) Fully-registered Medical Doctor (i.e. internship completed),  \n2) Entry into or completion of a national training programme in a primary specialty and  \n3) Entry into a national training programme in Intensive Care Medicine or satisfactory completion of 18 months’ training in Intensive Care Medicine. (Criteria 2 and 3) are fulfilled if Intensive Care Medicine is recognised as a primary specialty) .  \n• EDIC Part II: Successful completion of EDIC Part I and 24 months of training in Intensive Care Medicine.  \nThe required documents for registration to EDIC Part I are:  \n• Copy of University-awarded medical degree  \n• Letter of confirmation from national or regional primary specialty Training Authority (e.g. College or Society),  \n• Document/letter confirming your training in ICM or completion of ICM training programme signed by  \n􀀹 if you are in ICM training, the Training Authority, supervisor/mentor or Head of training  \n􀀹 if you have completed your ICM training, the Head of Department or Head of Training Programme or other representative who certify your completion of ICM training.  \nTo minimise the failure rate and to accommodate requests for candidates from outside Europe, it is recommended that candidates should acquire a thorough understanding of European ICM practice. It is recommended that this is best facilitated by working in an academic European ICU for a period of at least six months.  \n2.2 Structure of the exam  \nThe EDIC Exam is a two-step exam, based on a set of competences for medical specialists in Intensive Care Medicine, as defined in the CoBaTrICE training programme. EDIC part I and part II have a common blue-print. The blue-print is based on the 12 areas of co","cbCaihzxgXs8vRPc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihzxgXs8vRPc","pdf",541689,15,"English","# 1.
