The present Training Charter in Epilepsy Surgery Added Competence constitutes the third stage of a program initiated by the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ESSFN) and substantiated in close collaboration with the Union Européennedes Médecins Spécialists (UEMS) and the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS). This program aims to raise the standards of clinical practice by guiding education and quality control concepts. The particular sections of this Charter include: definitions and standards of added competence training, relations of the Epilepsy Unit with the Neurosurgical Department, duration of epilepsy surgery fellowship, institution and training program director requirements, operative totals for epilepsy surgery, educational program, individual requirements, and evaluation and qualification of the trainees. The specification of all these requirements is expected to improve harmonisation and quality of epilepsy surgery practice across Europe, and enhance the clinical activity and the scientific productivity of existing neurosurgical centres.

Abstract
The present Training Charter in Epilepsy Surgery Added Competence constitutes the third stage of a program initiated by the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ESSFN) and substantiated in close collaboration with the Union Européennedes Médecins Spécialists (UEMS) and the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS). This program aims to raise the standards of clinical practice by guiding education and quality control concepts. The particular sections of this Charter include: definitions and standards of added competence training, relations of the Epilepsy Unit with the Neurosurgical Department, duration of epilepsy surgery fellowship, institution and training program director requirements, operative totals for epilepsy surgery, educational program, individual requirements, and evaluation and qualification of the trainees. The specification of all these requirements is expected to improve harmonisation and quality of epilepsy surgery practice across Europe, and enhance the clinical activity and the scientific productivity of existing neurosurgical centres.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
