The EBOT Exam is a specialist exam in trauma and orthopaedics.
For more than 20 years, it has been run in different European
countries with the aim to improve the standard of knowledge and
professional competence of surgeons
A final examination in the Specialty is not universal, and this
in turn generates an increase in the variation in terms of
assessment from one country to another. However, the EBOT exam
tests the generality of orthopaedics and trauma based on the
syllabus of the European Curriculum. This will take us closer to
the requirements of many of the European orthopaedic societies
within the European Union.
To get acquainted with the format of the written exam and to
test your level of training, we also invite everyone to
participate in the EBOT interim exam, usually organised at the
end of March each year.
Certification and Title:
After successful completion of both parts (written and oral):
Fellow of the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology
(FEBOT)
All candidates having successfully completed section I of the
exam will be provided with a certificate of Basic Knowledge in
Orthopaedics and Traumatology as part of the EBOT Exam.
Yours sincerely
Professor Jorge Mineiro
M.D., Ph.D, FRCSEd
