The European Geriatric Medicine Specialty Exam (EGeMSE) continues to grow as an important opportunity for trainees and specialists to gain recognition in geriatric medicine knowledge. The third pilot examination will take place on 21 October 2026, with applications open from 1 July – 19 August 2026.
We are delighted that our EuGMS 2026 Congress in Lille will include an EGeMSE Exam Preparation Workshop, offering participants practical guidance, sample-style learning, and insights into the examination process.
Whether you are planning to sit the exam or simply wish to strengthen your knowledge in geriatric medicine, the conference will provide an excellent environment to learn, network, and prepare alongside colleagues from across Europe.

• Open to EU and non-EU specialty trainees or specialists — from any specialty
