UNION EUROPEENNE DES MEDECINS SPECIALISTES (UEMS)EUROPEAN UNION OF MEDICAL SPECIALISTS (UEMS)LOGBOOK OTO-RHINO-LARYNGOLOGY-HEAD AND NECK SURGERY(revision 2018)TRAINING PROGRAMMEINTRODUCTIONThe UEMS ORL Section and Board of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery has revised the European training programme for the Specialty in 2018. This programme will serve as a guideline for training centres enabling them to meet the European Standard as set out by the European Board of UEMS. We are moving towards competency based assessments. DEFINITIONOtorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) is the specialty which deals with functions and diseases, trauma, malformations and other disorders in childhood and in adults; of the ear, temporal bone and lateral skull base, nose, paranasal sinuses, anterior skull base and orbit, oral cavity, lips, pharynx, larynx, trachea, oesophagus, head, neck, thyroid, salivary and lacrimal glands and adjacent structures and skin. It also includes investigation and treatment of conditions affecting the auditory, vestibular, olfactory and gustatory senses and disorders of the cranial nerves; as well as human communication in respect of speech, language, voice and swallowing disorders. It also includes the study of related genetic disorders. Some of the conditions diagnosed by Otorhinolaryngologists but located in adjoining areas, will be further managed in close cooperation with these related specialists.THE TRAINING PROGRAMMEThe training programme will consist of the following elements:Acquisition of the principles of surgery in general and theoretical knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology, aetiology and symptomatology and treatment of diseases of the ear, temporal bone and lateral skull base, nose, paranasal sinuses and anterior skull base, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, oesophagus, head, neck, thyroid, salivary and lacrimal glands and adjacent structures. Special attention should also be given to the theoretical foundation of audiology, phoniatrics, vestibular disease, allergy, immunology, oncology and the basic principles of plastic and reconstructive surgery.Trainees should have access to facilities for temporal bone, paranasal sinus and head and neck dissection. They should be able to familiarize themselves with the basic techniques of surgery on the ear and lateral skull base, nose, paranasal sinuses and anterior skull base, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, oesophagus, head, neck, thyroid, salivary and lacrimal glands and adjacent structures, with either real or virtual surgical and endoscopic techniques.A graded increase in clinical responsibilities and surgical experience will be developed and should be recorded in the log book.A list of diagnostic procedures, non-surgical management and surgical management is outlined in the new UEMS ORL Section and Board logbook.The European training programme requires documentation of all skills and operative procedures/management itemized in the section of surgical management. Confirmation of the progression of the trainee to the required competency is necessary.The Log Book will be used in relation to European training exchange programmes and will provide an introduction into advanced skills of the Specialty.Subspecialty logbooks are available for advanced trainees.ASSESSMENT AND EXAMINATIONExamination of the theoretical and practical knowledge of the trainee may be included in the European Training Programmes. Trainees should refer to their National requirements.To achieve the award of the certificate of recognition, the trainee must reach the expected level of knowledge and skills approved by the training programme Director before being eligible to practise as an independent ORL-Specialist.Each trainee must be familiar with all diagnostic and therapeutic (surgical and non-surgical) management associated with the discipline of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery.The trainer will be responsible for confirming the competence of the trainee for the procedures and management outlined in the log-book in the columns headed “general”. He/she will sign on the date when competency is achieved in the final column 6.The contents of the log book will be continuously updated by the European Board at least every 5 years with respect to new developments. The recommended syllabus for the European Board Exam in ORL-HNS includes this logbook, produced by the UEMS ORL Section, and the Intercollegiate Surgical Curricullum Programme Syllabus.CONTENT OF THE LOGBOOKThe log book is divided into the following sections.IBasic objectives.IIOtology and NeurotologyIIINose and Paranasal sinusesIVLaryngology Head & Neck with PhoniatricsVFacial Plastics and Aesthetic surgeryVIPaediatric OtolaryngologyADiagnostic proceduresBNon-surgical/Medical managementCSurgical managementThe trainee must have knowledge and understanding both the diagnostic, non-surgical and surgical management.In the log-book general and advanced procedures are both listed: General procedures:Under this heading are listed all procedures which every ORL-HNS trainee must be competent in by the end of the training period, so as to to guarantee a medical service which fulfils the recommendation of the UEMS Section and Board, to achieve and maintain the highest standards.Advanced procedures:Under this heading are listed the skills and operative managements which have to be provided by University centres or specialized departments. The trainee is not expected to be able to perform these procedures/managements during the European Training programme. However, all trainees should have seen and been familiar with these procedures.The procedures are divided in three categories:(S)Trainee requires supervision/assistance by the trainer whilst he/she performs the procedure/management (I)Trainee performs the procedure/management independently/alone with the trainer available.(A) Trainee has seen/has been familiar with some advanced proceduresThe relevant trainer should endorse by signing and dating, when the trainee has achieved competency in each particular management or procedure.CHARTERS ON TRAINING AND VISITATIONTrainees are advised to familiarize themselves with the UEMS Charter on Training of Medical Specialists uems.eu The UEMS ORL Section and Board amended this Charter in June 2001 in relation to the requirements for the Specialty of ORL-HNS. The amended document can be found on the Section Website . The website also includes UEMS Charters on:Continuing medical educationQuality assuranceVisitation of training centres.The information for the Log Book may also be collected electronically.TRAINING CENTRE ROTATIONTrainee: ______________________________________________________________NameSurnameBirthdateDates of start and finish of training periodTraining CentreName of TrainerSignature of TrainerAdditional copies can be made of this page if required ATTENDANCE AT ACCREDITED COURSES AND MEETINGSDateCourseCommentsAdditional copies can be made of this page if required.
