Education in the focus: Core Curriculum in Children’s Orthopaedics
EPOS Educational Committee has set up “EPOS BAT Educational Programme”. The programme
meets the demands required by the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology
(EBOT). The eponym BAT arises from Basic Courses, Advanced Courses and Traumatology
Courses. These courses together constitute “EPOS BAT Educational Programme” and
aim to facilitate a problem-solving approach in the diagnosis and management
of orthopaedic conditions in children informed by relevant research evidence.
A module of two Basic Courses in combination with one Traumatology Course covers
the core curriculum in Children’s Orthopaedics. Advanced Courses are primarily
designed for Children’s Orthopaedic Surgeons who manage children’s orthopaedic
conditions in a highly specialised setting.
Course teaching Faculties are composed of highly internationally recognised specialists
in Children’s Orthopaedic from all over Europe.
