The Union of European Medical Specialists

• Bernard Maillet

Abstract

The Union of European Medical Specialists (UEMS) was established in 1958, following the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957. In the Treaty of Rome harmonisation and mutual recognition of diplomas is foreseen. The objective of the UEMS has always been bringing together the medical specialists of the member states and reaching consensus on content and quality of medical specialist training and practice. The outcome of this process was meant to serve as foundation for EU legislation.
