• having obtained the title of specialist in Nuclear Medicine before April 30, 2007
  
• being in the final year of a recognized training course in nuclear medicine in a country which is a member or affiliated to the UEMS (To be eligible to apply for the examination the candidate must provide proof that they are a trainee in nuclear medicine and that their specialist training will be completed between May 1, 2007 and April 30, 2011)

Candidates may enrol for and take the written exam (multiple choice questions) after they have completed at least 2 years of the training requirements necessary for their specialist qualification by their national body.

Preparation session
A “preparation session” for all those who are considering taking the exam is organised with the aim to make candidates feel more confident about the format and contents of the exam. This session is free of charge and will take place on May 1, 2010 in Vienna at the EANM Secretariat. To attend this session it is necessary to register via the web site.

Venue
The next examination will take place in Vienna at the EANM Secretariat and oral exam retakes (to be confirmed) during the EANM’10 Congress, which will be held in Vienna, Austria. If you require a visa for Austria, please ensure you apply for this in good time. The UEMS/EBNM Secretariat (Mr. Andreas Andiel, office@uems.eanm.org) would be pleased to issue an invitation letter accordingly.

It will consist of a written part (multiple choice questions) and an oral examination. Both parts of the exam can be taken in the same year or in different years. For the oral part, in case of difficulties with oral expression in English, candidates are allowed to ask for the presence of an additional examiner who is familiar with the candidate’s language.
