E.B.E. ORL-HNS
The European Examination Board in Otorhinolaryngology was created by the UEMS ORL Section and Board in October 2008.
It has been created to help harmonize the knowledge base amongst Otorhinolaryngologists throughout Europe.
Some European countries have an end-of-training exam in order to evaluate the knowledge acquired during their training program.
The European Board Exam is NOT an alternative to a national examination, where one exists.
Through the Ebeorl a supra-national (European) independent Board will set up a quality standard for all Europe, to allow free movement of specialists between member countries.
The European Board exam consists of TWO PARTS:
Part I: Written exam with 100 multiple choice questions. Only one answer is valid. No negative markings for incorrect answers.
Part II: Oral exam to complement the written part. Only those that have successfully passed part I are eligible to sit part II.
Part II: Oral exam to complement the written part. Only those that have successfully passed part I are eligible to sit part II.
