To apply for certification as Fellow of the European Board of Surgery (FEBS) in the specialty of Transplant Surgery offered by the European Board of Surgery and the Division of Transplant Surgery, a candidate has to undergo a two-step quality validation process: Eligibility (Part I) and Examination (Part II).
A candidate successfully passing the Eligibility and Examination will be qualified as: Fellow of the European Board of Surgery – F.E.B.S. Transplant Surgery.
The Fellowship of the UEMS is a significant high-level indication of professional competence and excellence.
The FEBS in Transplant Surgery 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 Surgery should be a future opinion leader in Trauma surgery.
Certification can be obtained for the following separate modules:
A candidate can be accredited for one or more modules.
The Division is not offering certification for heart and lung transplantation since this is being offered via the long-established and successful certification/ examinat ion process of the UEMS Section of Thoracic Surgery.
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.
