Training colon and rectal surgeons in Europe

Colorectal surgery training in Europe is delivered through a wide range of different systems run at the national level in each country. In most European countries, colorectal surgery is not yet a certified subspecialty. The Division of Coloproctology of the Union Europeens des Medicins Specialistes section of surgery started in 1998 and established accreditation and certification in Coloproctology in Europe. The European Board of Surgery Qualification (EBSQ) Coloproctology Examinations are held during the annual meeting of the European Society of Coloproctology and up to twice per year at other national meetings.
