The advanced master's programme aims to train
the doctor-specialist to have adequate knowledge and skills to provide
high quality patient care in his/her area of expertise. The advanced
master's programme also wants to deliver a clinically competent medical
specialist who has the attitude of scientific curiosity and
inquisitiveness which enables him/her to spontaneously and independently
inform him/herself in a subject area which rapidly expands
scientifically and technologically.
The general competences
relate to the social acting as a doctor-specialist within an
economically sound framework and taking into account social and ethical
aspects of the specialist medical practise. These needs were already
translated in the learning outcomes of the medical doctor but they also
apply to the follow-on training (traning continuum). The general
competences knowledge and science, as in medical acting, will relate to
the ability to ask the right questions, to purposefully search for and
evaluate the quality of the foundations in literature and to remain
aware of the care standards in the subject area.
General
competences
During the advanced master's programme the doctor
specialist in training (DST) acquires the necessary scientific
knowledge, skills and attitudes for his/her future professional life.
These cannot be split from the professional training as legally laid
down by the Recognition Committees.
- Continuation of
acquiring medical knowledge (and knowledge of introducing basal sciences
in the clinical practise) and insight.
- Acquire in depth
knowledge in the specialism
- Acquire skills, specific to the
specialism
- Develop problem-solving skills and apply them.
- Communicate
correctly and in a humane-empathic way with the patient and his/her
environment

The
competences per specialism (30 specialisms) are drawn up by the
subcommittees specialisms (per goup 1 representative from the specialism
per faculty) lead by the VLIR and are expressed in terms of academic
and professional competences necessary to practise the specialism.
General competences, domain specific competences and learning outcomes
are defined per specialism per level. The knowledge, skills and
attitudes are defined from the principle of learning outcomes, i.c.
"which competences does the DST minimally need to have at the end of
his/her training?".

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the training programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
