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 Orthopaedic Surgery (Ministerial decree of 07.1979, published on 07.08.1979).
|
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 Orthopaedic Surgery, 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, published on 14.06.2002, applies
to those candidates wishing to obtain the title of Specialist
Doctor in Orthopaedic Surgery (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.
|
General structure of the programme
The training course includes full time
apprenticeships
in recognised services and teaching centres. It lasts for at least six
years, full-time, including two years of foundation studies in general
surgery and four years of higher specialised training
in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology of the locomotor
mechanism.
The apprenticeship project established by the university promoter must
be approved by the ministerial validation committee for the
speciality. These periods of practical training include being on call.
|
Programme content
Parallel to the practical training, the
candidate specialist will follow a university course organised as follows :
|
First part - Foundation studies
|
The two years of foundation studies consist of :
|
|

Procedures for operations and surgical techniques, including
general pathology, loco-regional and general anaesthetics,
ressuscitation and traumatology
-
seminars (including 6 hours of training in communication)
-
a period of supervised hospital training organised in the services of the training centre
|
The theoretical sessions of the first two years form part of the specific university training programme (FUS, in French).
|
Second part - Higher studies
|
The four years of higher studies consist of :
|
|
-
theoretical courses : Traumatic and non traumatic affections of the locomotor mechanisms and surgical procedures

Evaluation
During the training course, the evaluation will be
based on the reports of the training supervisor, active
participation in the course and on the assessment of knowledge
organised by a jury composed of the instructors of the
speciality.
|
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.
|
At the end of the course, among other tasks, the candidate will have to present an
original piece of work
in the domain concerned in the form of a thesis or a publication with sufficient distribution
|
Upon fulfilment of the above-described training
requirements, the teaching committee will award the academic title in Orthopaedic Surgery.
|
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.
