8. Orthopaedic and Traumatology
Revision of educational system was proposed 2012 by ministry of health and medical board
ASOS prepared a new curriculum in Orthopaedics
By March 2013 we were informed to merge Orthopaedic and Traumatology (Unfallchirurgie)
Both societies agreed to form a new speciality: Orthopaedic and Traumatology

9. Focus and Scope of the Speciality Orthopaedic and Traumatology
The speciality of orthopaedic and traumatology comprises prevention, diagnostics- including radiological techniques-, surgical and non surgical / pharmacological treatment, follow-up and rehabilitation and specific reports of degenerative, inflamatory, metabolic and neoplastic pathologies as well as injury and trauma of the locomotor system and posttraumatic conditions and congentital and aquired malformations and deficiencies and functional disorders at any age on basis of scientific knowledge and evidence levels.

14. Orthopaedic/ Traumatology
New curriculum needs new structures !
Traumatology has twice as much resources as orthopaedics
Orthopaedic demands increase, traumatology decreases
Treatment of the locomotor system includes operative and conservative treatment
Emegency surgery should be interdisciplinary approach by surgical speciality and anethesiology
Transition of systems is difficult
European Curriculum as a template would be helpful
Final Exams on European level. EBOT- MCQ
UEMS/ EFORT educational platform

15. Problems/ Solutions
What would be the European standard of a curriculum in Orthopaedic/ Trauma Specialist?
Is the concept of an Orthopaedic Surgeon with trauma competence appropiate?
How can we evaluate progress in education?
Logg-book, intraining exams, final exam-oral and clinical cases, surgical skills, conservative skills, attitude
Standardised educational programe (MSC programe, ECTS certified, European Master of Orhopaedic Surgery, EMOS)

16. ORTHOPAEDICS OK ?!
