To apply for certification as Fellow of the European Board of Surgery (FEBS) in the specialty of Transplant Coordination offered by the European Board of Surgery and the Board of Transplant Coordination, a candidate has to undergo a two-step quality validation process: Eligibility (Part l) and Examination (Part ll).
A candidate successfully passing the Eligibility and Examination will be qualified as: Fellow of the European Board of Surgery (FEBS) in Transplant Coordination.
The Fellowship of the UEMS is a significant high-level indication of professional competence and excellence. It basically reflects the ongoing important European standardisation, harmonisation and quality assurance process in medicine.
At present, the fellowship of itself has no automatic legal recognition in the European Union or any other country. Individual recognition of qualifications by the national authorities is supported by the EBSQ committee and the number of countries officially adopting the Board exam is continuously rising. The future perspective of this European diploma is to be seen in unanimous legalization within the ongoing project of the European harmonization process of medical education.
The candidate for the EBSQ title in Transplant Coordination should be a future opinion leader in transplant coordination.
