The exam of the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EBOT) has been running for the 7th year and has gained wide recognition and acceptance throughout the scientific community in Europe.
Despite being a well recognised qualification in a large number of European countries, changes need to be introduced in order to widen the scope of the exam. As you may remember one of the main objectives of the exam was to help to improve the standards of orthopaedic training around Europe taking into account that we all have very similar training programmes but conditions under which these training programmes are run do vary widely around Europe from north to south, from east to west. The European Union is getting larger with 27 member countries at present where facilities for exchange/free movement of orthopaedic surgeons exist and therefore the purpose of such an examination has been reinforced.
2008 will probably be the last year where this format of examination will be used.

It is my pleasure to organize the 2009 edition of the EBOT exam that will be taken place in Brussels Belgium on the 3rd and 4th of October 2009.
The exam will take place at the UZ Brussel the hospital of the "Vrije Universiteit Brussel". Laarbeeklaan 101, 1090 Brussels.
As a regional, federal and European capital, Brussels is a modern and cosmopolitan city on the one hand and an historical and friendly city on the other.
Brussels is a preferred location for cultural events and shopping. The most fascinating monuments and shopping centres are concentrated within walking distance from "the grand place" the heart of historical Brussels.
I am confident that thanks to an outstanding organisation of the EBOT exam committee this European exam in the centre of Europe will be a success.
