European Diploma
Endorsed by the European Board of Anaesthesiology (EBA) of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS)
The European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care examination (EDA) is a multilingual, end-of-training, two-part examination covering the relevant basic sciences and clinical subjects appropriate for a specialist anaesthesiologist.
The existence of a supra-national examination in anaesthesiology provides an incentive for the development of departmental, university, national and European training programmes. The aim of the examination is to achieve a uniformly high standard of knowledge by anaesthesiologists throughout Europe as judged by an independent Board of Examiners.
The EDA consists of two mandatory components (Part I & Part II) with the third component, the In-Training Assessment (ITA), being optional.
Diploma recipients are invited to attend the Euroanaesthesia Awards Ceremony where the diplomas are presented and are also entitled to a reduced registration fee to attend the Euroanaesthesia meeting if they wish.
In order to know if you are eligible for the EDA Part I and Part II examinations, please consult the Diploma Guide p. 7 (see table below).

Advice to diplomates
Further to the amalgamation between the EAA, the ESA and CENSA, the design of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care has been changed. Both new and past diplomas have equal value and meet the same standards. The title of diplomate has also changed from DEAA to DESA. Past diplomates can either use one or the other. |
