 Message from the President
Dear colleagues and friends,
I am very excited that there has been such interest in registration for 27th EFPT Forum in Prague.
Thank you!
Local Organising Committee worked on the balanced social and professional program, check the final result here...
We have two great workshops prepared on Saturday, July 13th, just be aware that the registration is set on a first-come, first-served basis. Do not forget to register upon your arrival (July 10th). Space is limited at these two events by max. 25 participants for each workshop. Even if you do not fit in, there is a parallel, and very interesting, Child and Adolescent Training Day, so I actually think, you will have dilemma what to choose.
Just a few days ago Prof. Norman Sartorius promised one more session for motivated researchers – an interactive seminar on the first official day of the Forum. Enjoying such a person can be a life-changing experience.
The Forum has its tradition in three main activities where each country participates. Please keep in mind that each country prepares “Country Report”, “Poster presentation” and a performance for “International Night”. You can find here all the details related to each task.
On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, I am ready to say that we will take care of your physical health in Prague too. We can call it a complex “psychosomatic harmonisation”. Please have a look at our short video...
The weather is so hot all around Europe, therefore I am happy if you are still reading these lines. There is not only Forum happening, also many of our colleagues work on great events and projects all the time. One of them is our promotion and activities at ESCAP Conference 2019 in Vienna! Join us.
I also want to congratulate to Dr. Adrian Chrobak from Poland – this year Porto Research Award Winner! Amazing work! Check his introduction...
For those of you coming to Prague – I am really looking forward to meeting you.
Kind regards to everyone!
Pavel

Remember to Test Your Own Training? #TYOT
Have you ever wondered how your own training compares in relation to the European standards? Have you ever wanted to check where does your own experiences place you on the “Tripadvisor for psychiatry trainees”? If yes, don’t worry anymore! We want to remind you about amazing Test Your Own Training (TYOT) online tool that will easily allow you to do so and much, much more :)
We had the pleasure to introduce the TYOT to all EFPT members in 2017 as a result of a project that was initiated in autumn 2015 by the EFPT together with the UEMS Section of Psychiatry. Although guidelines to ensure the quality of postgraduate psychiatric training in Europe are provided, we’re well aware that the training conditions across the continent vary much from each other (especially in terms of duration of the program, availability of the supervision, presence of psychotherapy training, etc.), not always allowing trainees to fully develop much needed skills.
Did you know that TYOT already has a nickname: The Trip advisor for Training.
Don’t ask yourselves anymore whether your training program meets the standards - check it and share your knowledge with your fellow colleagues!
