UEMO Statement on General Practice/Family Medicine as a Medical Specialty

The UEMO General Assembly:
1. Mandates the presidency to seek to secure the inclusion of general practice as a specialist discipline recognised under Title III of the Directive;

2. Believes that the demands of general practice require a training period of 5 years and will continue working to that end;

3. Will continue to explore the potential of systems of competency based training and assessment.
