Austria Launches New Medical Specialisation in Acute and Emergency Medicine

Vienna, June 1, 2025 —Last December 2024, at the General Assembly of the Austrian Medical Association, an amendment to the Specialisation Ordinance was approved, thus creating a supraspecialisation in clinical Acute & Emergency Medicine.   This text goes into effect today 1 June 2025.  This long-anticipated move marks a significant milestone aligning Austria’s medical training standards in emergency medicine with those of many other European nations.

This supra-specialty inaugurates a structured 24-month additional training in emergency medicine. 

The Austrian Association for Emergency Medicine (AAEM) has actively contributed to the elaboration of the curriculum for this new specialized training program.  

We congratulate the AAEM for their hard work and perservance.
