The European Board of Dermatology-Venereology (EBDV) represents the specialties of dermatology and venereology within the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).[1][2] The EBDV is responsible for setting the charter of training in dermatology-venereology,[3] the guidelines for the log book of training and visitation of training centres[1] and the European board examination in dermatology-venereology[4] in UEMS member states.

European board examination

[edit]

The UEMS-EBDV board examination covers the specialties of dermatology and venereology and has been held annually since 2006.[1] Trainees are eligible to sit the examination when they have fulfilled the requirements of their national training body or when approaching the end of their training.[5] Candidates who successfully passed the board examination and are certified specialists in a UEMS member state can call themselves 'Fellow of the European Board of Dermatology-Venereology' (FEBDV), other successful candidates are considered 'European Board Certified'.[6] The European examinations are compulsory in some member states.[7]
