Document to be downloaded for all the information on the exam criteria:
The examination for the European Fellowship in Transplant Medicine is organized by the European Board of Transplant Medicine of the UEMS Division of Transplantation in collaboration with the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT).
To apply for certification 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 Medicine.
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 title does not in itself imply an automatic right to practice within the EU or to independent practice, nor does it automatically enhance participation in national social security systems of the European Union.
The candidate for the EBSQ title in Transplant Medicine should be a future opinion leader in Transplant Medicine.
Eligibility of an application will only be reviewed by the board once all required documents are provided and the Eligibility fee has been paid. Once these conditions are met, applications are treated by “first-come, first-served” principle. Incomplete applications or unpaid fees will result in delay of evaluation of your application.
Please read the instructions carefully and submit all required documents to support your application.
