EBOT Interim & EBOT Final Exams

Apply and get your special certification in 2023!

Please note that the EBOT Board has recently decided to offer a certificate of basic training to all those candidates having successfully completed section I, the basic, written part of the exam. Successful candidates in this first part can stand alone with this certificate or proceed to section II, the advanced, oral part. Only after successful completion of both parts, candidates will be awarded with the EBOT Fellowship, FEBOT.

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. 

The EBOT Exam is not mandatory, since all European residents can choose to take their national examination, managed by their own Association, in their local language, where such an examination exists. 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 as endorsed by both UEMS and EFORT in 2015.

The exam is open to certified specialists from Europe, trainees in their final year of training in a recognised European training scheme programme as well as non-EU citizen working in an EU country.

The dates for the 2023 EBOT (final) Exam are as follows:

  • Written part: Tuesday 06 June 2023 from 10:00 to 13:00 CET in different training centres around Europe or online as fully proctored exam (up each candidate to decide)
  • Oral part in English: Saturday and Sunday 07 & 08 October 2023 
  • Oral part in Spanish: Saturday and Sunday 18 & 19 November 2023 in Madrid, Spain (for Spanish residents subject to authorisation by SECOT)

Prior to being admitted to the oral part, all candidates will have to apply and successfully sit section I, the written section (in English), of the exam.

Application is open until 20 March 2023

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.

Date for the EBOT Interim Exam 2023:

Thursday 30 March 2023 from 10:00 to 13:00 CET

Registration for both hospitals and candidates is open:
