EJD

Main aims

The EJD's (PWG´s) initial objectives include safeguarding the interests of the Junior Doctors in Europe, improving relations between its member organisations and narrowing the gap between the Junior Doctors of the European Union and those of other European countries. Over the last four decades, the EJD (PWG) has actively intervened in defense of the medical profession in Europe with the purpose of contributing to the development of Junior Doctors' work and education and has had an important role as a background group for the organisations of Junior Doctors in countries preparing to join the European Union. From the beginning of the EJD's (PWG´s) existence, it became evident that the Junior Doctors of the various countries have many similar experiences and difficulties. Therefore, after pooling the information and exchanging ideas, the EJD (PWG) was able to identify the main areas of interest to Junior Doctors in Europe.
