These programs have been developed by the Educational Committee of EuroSpine in close consultation with national societies and have been implemented by the EuroSpine Foundation. They represent a landmark in the efforts to offer independent educational programs on the way to a spine specialist recognition in Europe. Only through a broad support from the European Spinal Community we will reach this goal.
