Specialist accreditation is an independent procedure performed in order to determine whether a person with medical or pharmaceutical education meets the requirements for qualification as a medical/pharmaceutical professional in accordance with professional standards for independent practice in the medical care or pharmaceutics.

Methodological accreditation and simulation centre organizes primary specialized accreditation for the following specialities:

• • Physical and rehabilitative medicine
• • Health care management and public health
• • Exercise therapy and sports medicine
• • Physiotherapy
• • Manual therapy
• • Reflexotherapy

Primary specialized accreditationis accreditation of persons who have completed higher qualification training programmes (residency programmes) and additional professional programmes (professional re-training programmes).

• • Testing
• • Practice-oriented stage, including an OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) and case studies (“Physical and rehabilitative medicine only“) and “Health care management and public health”

The accreditation subcommittee evaluates the result of passing the specialist's accreditation stage as "passed" or "not passed". The accredited person is admitted to the next stage of specialist's accreditation if the result of the previous stage is assessed as "passed".
