An internationally recognised certification

Published: Tuesday, July 9, 2019

My initial goal in taking the EBO exam was to obtain an internationally recognised certification in ophthalmology and gain clinical knowledge and skills beyond our national Board Exams. I was glad to meet peers from all across Europe. I was very surprised to do so well in the exam, as I am sure every candidate put a lot of effort in preparing for this comprehensive examination. I would definitely recommend other residents to take the examination. The curriculum of the FEBO exam is a valuable fundament for the ophthalmologist in training. In terms of future plans, I am currently in my last year of residency and I am looking forward to pursuing an academic career in ophthalmology.
