The EBTI has responsibility for the development and maintenance of a syllabus or curriculum for ‘higher’ training in Transplantation Immunology and Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (the European Specialisation in H&I (ESHI) certificate) throughout Europe.
It is envisaged that the ESHI certificate will become a recognised and necessary part of the development of scientists working in H&I as they progress into senior positions within European laboratories.
There are two parts to the ESHI certificate; Part I involves providing evidence of eligibility to be examined and Part II is the examination itself.
The ESHI certificate consists of two ‘core’ modules as follows:
1) H&I in solid organ transplantation
2) H&I in HSC transplantation
Two additional modules can also be applied for:
3) H&I in disease association
4) H&I in transfusion
All candidates MUST apply for at least one of the two core modules.
For details on the organisation and the rules attached to the ESHI examination , please read carefully the following document:
To show proof of eligibility a candidate has to show evidence of completion of training in all pertinent areas contained within the syllabus and that they have worked within clinical H&I for at least 5 years for science graduates and 3 years if they are medically qualified.
Existing qualifications (such as RCPath in H&I in the UK, Fachimmungenetiker-DGI in Germany, Opleidingseisen Medische Immunologie in the Netherlands and Especialidad de Immunologia in Spain), higher degrees and publications, although not mandatory, will strengthen the application.
Eligibility to go forward for the examination will be assessed by the EBTI.
If you wish to apply and assess your eligibility for the next EBSQ Examination in Transplantation Immunology and Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, please download the following document, filled it out electronically, printed, signed and submitted as pdf-file:
The cost of the whole process is 550€:
The examination itself is an oral exam, with 3-4 examiners, with questions covering all areas of the syllabus relevant to the application as well as questions on case studies and a recent publication given to the candidate prior to the exam.
The exam is provided twice a year, if demand requires.
