  17. EU diplomas to be recognised by other MS 1. Study/specialisation after accession: • diploma / certificate of a medical study and/or a specialisation that started after the accession of the MS of origin

  18. EU diplomas to be recognised by other MS 2. Acquired rights a. medical study started before accession: diploma issued after a medical study that (does not meet the Directive and) started before the accession of the MS of origin, accompanied by a certificate from the competent authority in the MS of origin that the applicant worked as a medical doctor for at least 3 years in the last 5 years

Acquired rights b. specialisation started before accession: diploma issued after a specialisation that (does not meet the Directive and) started before the accession of the MS of origin, accompanied by a certificate from the competent authority in the MS of origin that the applicant worked as a specialist at least twice the difference between the duration of the specialist training in the host MS and the MS of origin

Example of a case study (1) A Dutch citizen (female, 37) who - after graduating as medical doctor in Belgium and postgraduate training for general practice (family medicine) in the UK – worked for more than 5 years in Bhutan, requests for recognition as a doctor and as a family physician in Poland. • What would be your decision and why?
