Abstract

The European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR), an initiative of the European Society of Radiology (ESR) examines candidates on the knowledge outlined in the ESR’s training curriculum. The EDiR is administered and issued by the European Board of Radiology (EBR) and consists of multiple computer-based modules. The first candidates took the exam at the European Congress of Radiology in Vienna in 2011. The examination was being held in different European countries including Spain, France, Austria and Turkey. Radiological Society of Pakistan took the great initiative in 2017 and managed to hold the examination in Islamabad, Pakistan, the 1st ever EDIR examination outside Europe. This provided the radiologists from Pakistan to achieve this qualification within the country. The 2nd EDiR examination in Pakistan is planned on 16th September 2018 at Islamabad.
