  11. Why EBEORL should exist? • promotes harmonization of education • important tool for postgraduate studies in Europe • basic tool to improve the CV • equal replacement for the national board exam? • indirect assessment of the training centers • motivation for improvement of trainers and trainees • in a united (?) Europe there must be something equal to the American Board

  12. WHO CAN APPLY?POSSIBLE REVISIONS Candidates trained in EU or associated countries for at least 4 years Candidates trained outside EU should have completed their training and have an official national certification of ORL specialty

  15. FORCOMING EXAMS 1. Part I exam on Friday (afternoon) the 26th April in Nice, FRANCE. This exam will be held during the 2nd Meeting of EAORL-HNS and CEORL-HNS. For more information you can visit the Meeting website.2. Part I exam on Saturday (morning) the 29th June in Vienna, Austria.  This exam will not be held together with any Congress/meeting, the only event that will take place will be the exam itself. 

  16. REPUTATION Increasing number of candidates each year Prerequisite for a specialist job in several parts of the world (Emirates, Israel etc) Interest from several ORL societies to host the written part of the exam during their congresses

  17. Another evidence of increased reputation is that many people were queuing just to have a photo with persons dealing with the organization of the exam

  18. PROBLEMS The site of the exam must have easy and cheap access from all over the world There must be no visa restrictions in the country hosting the exam, which prevents the participation from middle east countries candidates. Input of new questions from ENT societies and subspecialists Dealing with appeals from candidates who have failed the exam Examiner’s faculty is of grate importance

  19. Establishment of the bylaws of the exam with a constitution and a legal basis. For various practical reasons we have chosen Vienna as the basis of our organization and Austrian legislation as the platform for our constitution.

  35. SCEPTISM Is the EBE ORL exam a back door for doctors outside Europe to enter EU? No, It is a way to secure who is coming and also to introduce standards for outside EU regarding training in ORL.

  36. ISSUES FOR THE FUTURE Part I written exam to be run via computer To find ways to attract candidates from European countries with poor economies (grants from national societies, reduced fee for EU trainees etc) To encourage countries to accept officially the exam as equal to the national one.
