- The Minimum Training Conditions (Knowledge and Competences to be acquired),
- The need for a system of skills recognition all over Europe and for more uniform, transparent and flexible periods of study,
- The guarantees that people who have acquired professional qualifications in one Member State can practice the same profession and exercise it in another Member State enjoying the same rights as the respective native citizen professionals, and
- The principle of free provision of services and free movement of professionals within EU.
Graduates of this Program are expected to be able:
- To demonstrate that they have adequate knowledge of the basic and clinical sciences that constitute the foundations of modern medicine;
- To make diagnoses of the common conditions encountered in medical practice and to provide appropriate treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of these conditions;
- To recognise and make appropriate medical interventions in life-threatening situations that patients may be in;
- To have the necessary skills for carrying out essential medical, surgical and diagnostic procedures that may be required in daily practice;

- To use currently available information technology for the recording and retrieval of patient information, as well as for analysing data for the purposes of research;
- To design and apply research protocols in the basic and clinical sciences and to analyse and present the results of such research and to understand the results of published research papers and scientific presentations;
- To be able to pursue lifelong learning and self-improvement and to apply evidence based medical advances;
- To comprehend and adhere to the principles of medical ethics in their relationships with patients.
