For years the EuroSpine, the Spine Society of Europe (SSE) has found the task of educating health care personal in spinal pathologies and developing treatment strategies of great importance.  In 2009, the SSE decided to initiate a new European Education program focusing on establishing European education standards, both for coming spine specialists and as part of continuous education.

A new European Education Program can only be implemented and be successful through the involvement and support of National Spine Societies of Europe and cross border Societies with spine focus.

The SSE wants to position itself as a major driving force in Spine Education within Europe to act as a reference point and resource for all Spine Societies struggling with similar issues at local level, including Surgical Societies such as Neurosurgery, Scoliosis but also non surgical European Societies involved in the care of spinal disorders.

To qualify this European Education Program, the SSE has the vision to deliver a Spine Diploma program at both European and National level.

In a near future, it is expected that the European Community will recognize the need to establish a Certification on the basis of this SSE initiative.
