Certification Procedures

Certification of PRM Doctors

Board certification does not give an academic qualification but it means that the candidate has reached the European standards of competence in PRM. Above all, these procedures of certification and accreditation are the basis for a European network for intellectual exchanges and fellowship and for the clarification of the structure and activities of PRM for both Public Authorities and the general public.

Benefits for PRM Certified Specialists

The European Board of PRM is implementing a set of benefits for PRM Board Certified Specialists as well as for Board registered trainees:

There are three routes to become certified by the PRM Board of UEMS:

  • If you are a Final Year Trainee or a Young PRM Doctor, you need to sit the Examination, which is organized every year by the Board, on June 18 in 2021 and on the last Friday of May thereafter starting from 2022.
  • If you have practiced PRM as a licensed specialist for 10 years or more, you can apply for Board Certification by Equivalence.
  • If you were Board Certified more than 10 years ago, you will need to apply for Board Recertification.
