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
