The EBOT Exam is a prestigious qualification that is a valuable addition to your curriculum vitae. The exam has evolved in the last few years to make it more open and fair, which has been well received by all candidates.
The exam is open to certified specialists from Europe and trainees in their final year of training in a recognized European training scheme program, as well as non-European Union (EU) citizens working in an EU country.
The EBOT Interim Exam is an annual assessment for all European orthopaedic trainees. It gathers information at the European level handed over to both trainees and heads of training, regarding not only the performance of the different residents, but also detailed data on how they have been doing in the five different areas assessed at the final EBOT Exam.

The interim exam is open to all trainees in a recognized European training scheme program and all hospitals in Europe, subject to prior registration.
