The Fellowship (F.E.B.S.) provided by the European Board of Surgery is a relatively young qualification. By that it is understandable, that senior surgeons with undoubtedly significant experience in advanced positions will individually refrain from undergoing the Eligibility process and the Board Exam. Nevertheless, they would proudly take the benefit from the qualification itself.
However, it is the purpose of the executive, to establish the Fellowship qualification as European standard. This lead to the decision to provide a “Honorary Fellowship” for experienced surgeons.
Senior MIS surgeons in advanced position may apply for an Honorary Fellowship of the European Board of Surgery (MIS).

A complete application must include:
The application fee is of €2,500.
The fee should be paid after approval of the Honorary Fellowship application.

Honorary fellows may apply to serve as examiners in future Board Exams or they may be invite to serve as examiners at their discretion.
