Letter from the Chairman

Dear Colleagues

The EBOT exam has entered a new era with its new format. The written paper (section I) can be sat at a number of examination centres throughout Europe. Those who are successful in this section go through to the oral examination. The oral exam (section II) will take place during the first weekend of October 2012 (6th and 7th) in Dublin, Ireland.
It is a great honour for the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EBOT) exam to be held in Ireland. We encourage all of last year's trainees to take the written section I on 6 June 2012. We also recommend that young orthopaedic surgeons seeking a prestigious European orthopaedics qualification take both parts of the examination and become EBOT Fellows.
Having been to most European capitals over the last eleven years, it is now the time for the exam to come to Ireland. I am sure that it will be a very successful event with limited vacancies.

Take your chance to become a Fellow of the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (FEBOT).

Prof Dr Jorge Mineiro MD PhD
Chairman of the EBOT Examining Committee

They need to demonstrate that they are certificated specialists in their country of origin, and must present a structured reference from the Head of Department in the institution they are working within Europe.
