EDU segment

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before EDU-3 and its value arrives as EDU-2, so the receiver stores Academic Degree Program Date Range as Academic Degree.

This page carries the EDU field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for EDU.
