FORTE Summer School 2018
Background
EBOT Exam is growing in interest every year, although proper educational material and specific educational events for preparation are still missing.
Following the success of the first two Summer Schools held in Faro, FORTE Summer School is heading for its 3rd edition. It is already a huge success with a high satisfaction index from both participants and faculty in the past editions. The two courses that we supply are of huge assistance for both junior and senior trainees, whether they are starting their career of preparing for their final EBOT Exams.
Purpose
FORTE Summer School provides an accessible educational opportunity for all European trainees, during any stage of their progression through their training. One of its main goals is to aid the preparation for the EBOT exam, open to residents in their last two years of training (applying or not to the Exam). The other critical goal is to provide a comprehensive general review course, open to residents in all years of training and young orthopaedic surgeons, below the age of 40.
The format of the event is designed to enable time for study and most importantly, an environment and setting that would enable informal exchange of clinical and training experiences, case discussions and network between participants and faculty.

DATE
The event will occur from July 2nd to 6th, 2018.
