EUROPEAN INTERIM EXAM...Tuesday March 23 2021

Exam this year is on March 23 2021.  The date is fixed by Europe ...it can not be changed !

For the ones interested...you can either contact me : nanni.allington@chc.be
I will organize a session in Liège....There is a session organize by Dr Zorman ( ULB ) and also by Pr Cornu ( UCL )...or try to convince your hospital or program director to do so also and contact me for the details...There will also be a session this year by Pr Schuind ( ULB)

Or direct from their website : http://www.ebotexam.org/

On April 14 2015 for the first time Belgium did participate to this exam. It was held at the CHR Citadelle and a total of eight residents participated on a voluntary basis. Residents from UCL, ULG and ULB.

The exam is still for "free" ( sponsored by UEMS : European union of medical specialists ) and I hope that more will participate. Any resident from year 3,4,5 or 6 may participate . This is not mandatory but will give you a good idea of where you stand. You can compare yourself to other residents of the same year in Belgium but also Europe.

The exam is divided in five big subgroups : Spine, Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Paediatrics and Basic Sciences.

It is a multiple choice exam about all of orthopaedics .

There is no syllabus for the time being  but some do suggest the "Miller", some others the "Oxford online"...
There is also the exam preparation course given every year during the EFORT meeting.
The important point is anyway to read...

Residents are compared to residents of same level

It is computer based ...but as soon as you leave the exam to go on other places on the internet...it stops !
You know your results at the end of the exam

Also you can download the presentation given at the sorbcot meeting on march 14,2015  here

 

 

European Exam

These exams are part of the european training requirements..

At the time being it is on a voluntary basis.

The idea is to harmonize education over Europe...

To participate to the Interim exam see above

To participate to the final exam

- you have to be an orthopaedic surgeon

- a resident in his/her final year 
Pass and succeed the Part I European final written exam

Then pass  and succeed your national exam = PART II of the "European" one
Then with a confirmation letter of your program director that you fit all the criteria and will soon be an orthopaedic surgeon...you may participate to the Part III oral European Exam
