EHA Curriculum Project Basic statements • Hematology is a monospeciality including both clinical and laboratory competences • There is a vast European diversity that needs to be considered and respected • The total recommended training period of 6 years, whereof 2 in internal medicine, equals the European median value • The curriculum could be used as a support for national development National Societies Meeting June 1st, 2005 Stockholm
EHA Curriculum Basic Principles • Tick-box system • Descriptive rather than evaluating • Focused to give information that facilitates mobility • Acceptance of European differences • Three skill levels (Competence, Knowledge, Awareness) • Written with the background knowledge of the US curriculum National Societies Meeting June 1st, 2005 Stockholm
EHA Curriculum CV Skill Levels • Each item in the Curriculum is assigned a skill level: • Awareness • Knowledge • Competence National Societies Meeting June 1st, 2005 Stockholm
EHA Curriculum CVDefinitions of Skill Levels • Awareness (A): Basic notions • Knowledge (K): Updated concepts on patho-physiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, prognosis, different therapeutic approaches. • Competence (C): Adequate understanding and practical integration of knowledge and skills for optimal diagnosis and treatment of patients at any phase of their disease. (T - Technical knowledge of the procedure, I - Interpretation of the results) • Technical Competence (TC): Ability to carry out independently specific laboratory tests. In the Diagnosis and Transfusion Medicine sections, the competence is subdivided in technical competence (T - knowledge of the procedure and ability to carry out independently specific laboratory tests) and interpretation competence (I – interpretation of the results).
EHA Curriculum ProjectConclusions • The EHA - Leonardo da Vinci project has finalized a draft for a European curriculum for hematological training • Hematology is a clinical and biological mono-specialty • The individual cv should be based on a sum of defined knowledge • The validity of the CV has to be tested and updated regularly. National Societies Meeting June 1st, 2005 Stockholm
EHA Curriculum ProjectQuestions for the future • How should the printed version be circulated / disseminated? • Better definition of basic pediatric training. • How to become a super specialist? • What is the role of the mentor? • How often should the curriculum be updated? • How should training centers be accredited?
