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

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


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
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

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.

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.
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.
