There are two qualifications oferred : GenSurg is open for everybody (see Eligibility criteria), with and without national CCST, from EU or abroad. GenViscSurg is a specialization following GenSurg with an augmented syllabus and national CCST as prerequisite (something comparabel to endocrine, Tx, HBP, Coloproctology...).

A group of experienced examiners representing different countries will take care of the scientific contents of the examination having in mind highest standards in surgery.

The next exam will be held in Cracow, Poland, on November 17th 2011 during the Annual Meeting of the ESS. The next exams will be organized during the subsequent conferences of the Society, usually in November.

The exam is the recognition of superior surgical knowledge and skills. It gives the candidate the privilege to use the title of the FELLOW OF THE EUROPEAN BOARD OF SURGERY- GENERAL/VISCERAL SURGERY.
