6th Edition of the Summer School 2023

Welcome to FORTE Summer School 2023

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are thrilled to invite you this summer to a unique learning experience in Athens, Greece. The 6th Edition of FORTE Summer School is the ideal opportunity for you to attend a course that includes the most renowned experts in Orthopaedics and Traumatology (O&T) and at the same time gives you the chance to connect and exchange ideas with surgeons and trainees from all over Europe.

FORTE Summer School is proudly celebrating its sixth edition, after accomplishing remarkable success during the previous years. It has gradually become a must-attend course for all trainees and young surgeons in Europe, most importantly for those that want to advance their knowledge or prepare for their National Exams or the EBOT Exam.

We have created a dynamic learning environment that will both challenge and inspire you. Summer School is offering two training levels to address the needs of standard-level and higher-level trainees. As such, two different courses in two separate conference rooms will run in parallel. In one room the Comprehensive Review Course (CRC) will be available for those who want to enhance their knowledge by attending a general review course, while in the second room, the Exam Preparation Course (EPC) will be available for those who strive for more interactive training. The EPC course can be very productive for everybody but is excellent for more advanced trainees. In this course you can test your level of knowledge and improve your clinical thinking, discussing with the faculty different clinical scenarios.

Our faculty is highly experienced, including more than 50 elite international experts and EBOT examiners. All subspecialty topics will be covered and all high-yield exam topics will be discussed. High-quality comprehensive lectures and structured case presentations will be the tools to achieve our training goals. Keynote lectures by pioneering surgeons will be also included. We are convinced that we will offer you a high-end learning experience, combined with a pleasant social program.

Join us in the beautiful city of Athens this summer, to learn from the best, connect with your peers from all over Europe, and gain insights that will help you excel in your future career.

We look forward to welcoming you in Athens this Summer.

Kind regards,

Panayiotis D. Megaloikonomos, MD
