Candidates’ knowledge will be tested through continuous assessment by the placement supervisor and by examinations on the subjects taught. In addition, candidates must produce a piece of scientific work to present in a public class and to a national or international emergency medicine convention and/or published in a recognized scientific journal.

 
When the above requirements have been fulfilled, the programme committee will award the academic qualification in emergency medicine. 
 
This is not a substitute for recognition by the ministerial committee. It is evidence of academic and scientific training in the context of specialized training leading to the award of professional status.
 

Training as a specialist doctor in intensive medicine may count for three years towards the total of six years’ training required to become a specialist doctor in emergency medicine.
