Libro Blanco de las ACES Pediátricas 2024 54 ❚ Final version 6 2017: Application form Paediatric Subspeciality UEMS Author: Dr. NG Hartwig on behalf of the ESPID educational committee 5.2 Trainers Each training-centre must identify an educational supervisor. This individual will be a senior specialist in Paediatric Infectious Diseases with at least 5 years of work experience. The educational supervisor has teaching experience at an academic level. The educational supervisor is responsible for developing a draft for a training programme. The educational supervisor is responsible for identifying, supervising and allocating a mentor to the trainee or can act him-/herself as mentor. The mentor/educational supervisor meets regularly with the trainee and when applicable with the mentor for feedback on the programme and adjustments necessary for acquiring the competencies. Mentors are recruited from the staff. They undertake continuing professional development to equip them with the necessary skills to mentor the trainee. Mentors have a duty to the trainee under their supervision to meet regularly, to make assessments of their competencies and to act as an advocate for the trainee to ensure that the individual obtains the optimal training opportunities from the programme. 5.3 Accreditation For each country of the EU, a list of training programme, training centres and programme directors should be compiled and updated on an annual basis. This may be facilitated by ESPID and, where such body is not present, may provide a central registry for such a list. Each centre is defined by the available modules and teachers. Accreditation is given by the European Board of Paediatrics (EAP), based on recommendations of the national guidelines of the country or the scientific society (ESPID). EAP ensures that the national guidelines of a European country meet or exceed the minimal requirements of the training programs and training centres as defined in section 3 and 5.
