Executive Board with Board of Directors

Why I am here?

Implementation of FPRAS in a more

systematic way into the resident’s

logbook

Two-year subspecialty training for FPRAS

ENT is the main house and subspecialties are the rooms

Analogy

Roommates in FPRAS

Plastic surgeons Maxillofacial surgeons Dermatologists Oculoplastic surgeons Aesthetic doctors General surgeons

We are ENT doctors

Not even surgeons

Because we do not have the

“surgery” title in our specialty name

Questioned in court five years ago in

CanadaTo change the subspecialty name to ORL-HNS

All subspecialties will probably benefit from clearly defined fields, rather than having vast grey zones

Some overlapping is acceptable Do not intend to give rise to competition

between ENT subspecialties

From the Position Paper of EAFPS

Comité Européen de Normalisation

The UEMS has repeatedly made clear its absolute opposition to the CEN initiative to develop standards in Aesthetic Medicine/Surgery

This has been addressed through a campaign based on an open letter, that has been supported by other EMOs and NMAs

The UEMS has also used its contacts with relevant stakeholders political decision-makers to emphasise its profound concerns
