Friday, 11th May 2018 First Meeting of the Multidisciplinary Joint Committee in Infection Control (MJC IC)

Objectives of the MJC IC:

-        The main objective is to define European standards of medical education and training in Infection Control (IC).

-        The availability of European Infection Control core competencies is a cornerstone for harmonising infection prevention and control training and education in Europe

-        Proposed MJC on Infection Control would ensure that part of curriculum and European Training Requirements pertaining in IC in both ID and MM specialties are structured in a similar way.

-        As a next step, this MJC in IC will plan to set up a European Certificate in Infection Control for medical specialists.

The scope of MJC IC is education of European Medical Specialties. Their own core curriculums should incorporate IC standards in which most of the specialties have little/no competencies. The Objective of MJC IC is not to create a new specialty, but to give support to all the medical specialties on IC competencies, of course on the basis of an European standard (ECDC, EUCIC, etc):

ECDC will contribute to EUCIC's training programme

EUCIC is delighted that the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) has agreed to contribute to the training programme. ECDC’s contribution is expected in the areas of surveillance, epidemiology and data analysis, and the centre will offer an observership programme covering several of the modules.

32 European CME credits (ECMEC) for the basic module

EACCME granted a total of 32 European CME credits (ECMEC) for the basic module in its training programme to attain the 'Infection Prevention and Control Certificate'

We applied for 29 and got 32 credit points. Congratulations to the team!
