The Portfolio Pathway, formerly known as the Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR), represents a demanding yet flexible alternative to the conventional Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) for achieving specialist registration in Emergency Medicine. This strategic plan serves as a comprehensive, multi-year professional roadmap. Embarking on this journey requires exceptional organization, unwavering commitment, and meticulous strategic planning from the outset. It is a significant undertaking, comparable to a marathon, not a sprint, and should be approached with the gravity it deserves.
