The Recommendation of the EU Parliament and of the Council of the Establishment of ECVET are taking place in a framework in which there is a serious need of complementarity between vocational training and higher education. Increasing the quality of vocational skills requires the development of world-class VET systems. The need for harmonisation development of an unitary system in medical education across Europe with common standard procedures is a well known fact. In these circumstances we decided to develop the COR-skills project that adresses to Vocational Education on higher education level. Our Strategic Partnership is supporting a project-based collaboration between hospitals and HEIs, to develop, test and adapt a continous VET programme, based on an exhaustive needs analysis and focusing on a “real-life” transnational approach. We aim to stimulate resident learning by new approaches, as the development of an innovative e-training method which is able to provide the trainees with a range of case studies and an advanced training curriculum. This will function as a virtual medical environment, similar with the work place and help attune curricula to current and emerging labour market needs and equip the speci. alists with required skills, by developing active cooperation between HEI and partners from outside academia: hospitals, medical centers, research centers.
