Proportion answering correctly
Discrimination Index b It is the difference between the proportion of the top scorers who got an item correct and the proportion of the bottom scorers who got the item right (each of these groups consists of about 33 % of the total group of candidates who took the test and is based on the candidates total score for the test). The discrimination index range is between -1 and +1. The closer the index is to +1, the more effectively the item distinguishes between the two groups of candidates.

The UEMS Office has received emails from successful candidates to the European Examination in Otorhinolaryngology requesting to certify their diplomas. We are delighted to use this opportunity to congratulate you for this achievement.
Letter Part 1
35
First, we would like to stress that the UEMS Diplomas are not the titles of qualifications established by legal degree but should be considered voluntary labels of excellence awarded by the organisation of medical specialists. Their holders have demonstrated that they have reached a high level of competence in their discipline. The diplomas cannot in any way be considered a license to practise nor a title of qualification equivalent to the titles detailed in the Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EC and 2013/55/EU).
Letter Part 2a
36
Last year, several non-EU candidates who passed a UEMS Examination contacted the UEMS Office to help them "legalising" their UEMS diploma, as it was requested by Ministries of Health in their countries. Their aim was to work in a non-EU country. For that purpose, "legalising" a document is meant to authenticate it and has no impact or influence an the content of the document. lt is only an administrative process that proves that the document is authentic and has been issued by an officially-registered organisation and signed by the competent legal representative of this organisation.
