UEMS training centre accreditation is well regarded within the European Union. It proves that the training at these centres meets a high standard and it provides access to a wide network of European Transplant specialists. This is not only beneficial for the institution itself but also for trainees as it proves they have quality training and they also become eligible for UEMS- ESOT fellowship as outline below.
The Transplant Surgery Division accredits training centres in the following modules: Multi Organ Retrieval; Kidney Transplant; Pancreas Transplant; Liver Transplant.
The visiting team meets with the professionals and the participants involved in the training. They proceed to a rigorous analysis of the accreditation application beforehand and provide a detailed report on the findings of the visit afterwards.

Here is the list of training centres accredited by the UEMS Transplant Surgery division:
The European Society of Organ Transplantation grants two Transplant Fellowships every year “in order to advance the clinical and academic knowledge and skills of senior European transplant trainees or junior transplant specialists by working in another European institution for a period of one year, attending a sound and well-structured clinical and academic program”.
As mentioned on the website of ESOT, should the hosting institution not be UEMS-ESOT accredited, “the Head of the hosting institution needs to produce a report as to how the training program and overall clinical and academic work of the his/ her Department compare to the UEMS-ESOT training requirements for the specific discipline (transplantation surgery, medicine, coordination and immunology) for which the applicant is applying for.”
