Selection Committee
|
The Selection Committee for candidate
assistant clinician specialist doctors (MACCS, in French) is composed of the members of the
teaching Committee, to which are added two guest members and two
co-opted members.
|
Study objectives
This complementary master's programme aims to prepare
doctors to become officially recognised holders of the specific
professional title of specialist Doctor in Otorhinolaryngology (Ministerial decree of
08.12.1980, published on 03.03.1981, modified by the Ministerial Decree of
27.11.1995, published on 22.12.1995).
|
Admission conditions
|
-
The applicant must hold the
degree title of Doctor in Medecine or be a Doctor from a member country
of the European Union authorising medical practice in Belgium.
-
The applicant must be in
possession of a document attesting that, at the end of the selection
exams, he was retained as a specialist candidate in Otorhinolaryngology, in a Belgian medical faculty.
|
The juridical context and practical procedures regarding
these selection tests can be obtained from the secretary's office.
|
Degree holders from outside the European Union are only
allowed to register on the programme in the context of procuring a
university certificate for partially specialised training for the
duration of two years (if they are in the process of doing a
specialisation in their country of origin) or for an in-depth
specialised training course for the duration of one year (if they are
already recognised as specialists in their own country).
|
The Royal Decree of 30.05.2002, relating to the planning
of the medical offer for the public, published on 14.06.2002, applies
to those candidates wishing to obtain the title of Specialist
Doctor in Otorhinolaryngology (those candidates are thus counted
among the general practitioner candidates or specialists in the context
of the numerus clausus).
|
Admission procedures
Applications for admission must be addressed to the academic supervisor. The organisation of the entrance selection
tests is
arranged in accordance with the calendar and the general examination
rules and
regulations.
|

Evaluation

work experience detailling all the scientific and didactic activites
followed during the course of each year of training.
|
Evaluation of the knowledge acquired is carried out in
the form of an oral exam at the end of the first and second part of the
studies. An end of course piece of work (based on a publication) is
required and is presented orally before the teaching committee during
the second session of exams.
|
Further to the application of the Royal
Decree of 16 March, 1999, at the end of the first two years
of training, the candidate will receive an attestation proving that he
has successfully accomplished a specific university training course.
|
Upon fulfilment of the above-described training
requirements, the teaching committee will award the academic title in Otorhinolaryngology.
|
This title does not replace official recognition by the
ministerial validation committee. It attests the successful
completion of an academic and scientific study programme in the context
of a specialised training programme leading to this validation.
