Participants who have actively taken part in the whole program and passed the required evaluations will be issued an “Interuniversity certificate in Humanitarian surgery in austere environments”, worth 10 ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System). This certificate is in itself a valuable addition to the participant’s academic records.
Furthermore, the associated credits, if validated by the examination board of a subsequent academic program elsewhere in Europe, can be applied in that program. To obtain the Certificate in Humanitarian Surgery in Austere Environment, it is necessary to have a valid ATLS. If the candidate does not have the ATLS, he/she will be giben a Certificate of Achievement. Participation in all sessions, without passing the evaluations, will result in the issuance of a certificate of attendance.
