EBU Assessments
The EBU Examination Committee offers the following assessments.
EBU In-Service Assessment
The EBU In-Service Assessment allows the candidates to evaluate their current knowledge base against the current European standards. This assessment encourages teacher and student reflection and is used to inform the teaching and learning process.
European Board Examinations in Urology
The European Board Examinations in Urology consist of 2 parts. Participation is subject to eligibility.
EBU Written Examination
The purpose of the EBU Written Examination is to determine whether the candidate demonstrates a minimum level of knowledge agreed by the EBU Examination Committee to be necessary for the safe practice of urology. The EBU Written Examination is a multiple choice question (MCQ) examination covering the whole field of urology, including basic science.
The candidate who passes the Written Examination receives a Certificate of successful Completion. Participation gives right to 2 CME credits (category 3).
EBU Oral Examination
The objective of the EBU Oral Examination is to test the candidate’s ability to evaluate and manage common cases in every day practice. The candidate will be given 3 clinical cases which represent a wide spectrum of urologic practice.
The candidate who is successful in the Oral Examination receives the Fellow of the European Board (FEBU) Diploma and may use the FEBU title.
The FEBU Diploma is considered a Mark of Excellence, an added qualification and an asset to the individual’s CV and portfolio. The FEBU diploma has no legal value; it does not confer the legal right to practice urology in Europe or elsewhere.
The FEBU diploma qualifies for 50 CME credit points (category 3).
