ESCMID fosters an ongoing collaboration with the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) for enhanced training in the fields of Clinical Microbiology (CM) and Infectious Diseases (ID). UEMS is the oldest medical organisation in Europe, focused on setting standards for high quality healthcare practice, advocacy, and specialist accreditations
The UEMS firmly believes that quality of care is directly linked to the quality of training provided to healthcare professionals. Committed to elevating medical training standards across Europe, the UEMS has taken significant steps towards this mission and has contributed significantly to this goal with the development of published training curricula for CM and ID experts, serving as models for national training curricula in these specialties.
ESCMID and the UEMS Section of Medical Microbiology worked together to create a European exam in Medical/Clinical Microbiology. With an ambition of harmonisation, the perfect partnership was formed between the UEMS the oldest pan-European medical organisation and ESCMID the largest scientific society for CM and ID professionals. We are very proud of this cooperation and the future for CM and ID..
