Dear Colleagues,
The Medical Council of Ireland is seeking to extend its knowledge of specialist training provided by universities / training bodies in Ukraine and we would be grateful if fellow regulators could share their experience with us.
I would be grateful if you would answer the following questions:
1. Have you accepted specialist qualifications obtained in Ukraine for the purpose of recognising a doctor as a specialised doctor?
2. If yes, can you advise in which specialties?
3. Could you provide details about your assessment process for these applications?
4. When assessing applications from Ukraine qualified specialists:
(i) have you found variations in the standard of specialist training across different universities /training bodies / regions in Ukraine?
If yes, could you comment on the differences?
(ii) have you found that the standard of specialist training in any university/ training bodies/ regions is more aligned to the standards set out in the Directive?
If yes, could you provide some information and indicate those universities / training bodies?
5. Any other comments.
Please send your responses to me at
[email protected]
Many thanks for your assistance with my query.
