Abstract
Following recent geopolitical events and unification of Europe, the European Union (EU) is currently confronted with health care workforce shortage and insufficient uniform access to quality care. Aging population, difficulties with physician retention, and mobility of health care professionals are thought to contribute to this problem. Because of the differences in medical education and residency curriculum across the European countries, there is a need for a standardized training and certification. Current government initiatives are geared toward developing common policies and programs across the EU countries to address health care access.
