Dear all,

the IFCC is happy to inform you that Phase 1 of the IFCC Curriculum is ready and already available on the IFCC website at: http://www.ifcc.org/ifcc- education-division/ifcc- eacademy/

As you know, the IFCC Curriculum was developed as part of the IFCC eAcademy project by the Committee for Distance Learning. Other disciplines within laboratory medicine will follow in due course.

Authors are: R. Greaves (AU), J. M. Smith (UK); Section authors are: R. Greaves, C Florkowski (NZ), L. Langman (US), J. Sheldon (UK).

The IFCC Curriculum is a guide for IFCC member societies in their development of syllabuses for postgraduate trainees in laboratory medicine, appropriate for use in their own countries.

It is also intended to be a resource for trainees in planning their private study in preparation for academic and professional qualifications which lead to formal recognition of expertise and status as experts and leaders in the field of laboratory medicine.

The IFCC Curriculum means to provide the laboratory medicine expert with a comprehensive knowledge of the science and medicine on which the specialty is based and is an help to use this knowledge to develop and provide a safe, effective, efficient and high quality service to its users. The IFCC Curriculum is designed to provide a framework of learning both practical and theoretical components through which this expertise can be achieved.

IFCC invite you to download your copy of the IFCC Curriculum and let them have your comments.
