GENERAL INFORMATION

The UEMS European Board of Dermatovenereology Diploma (EBDVD) Examination is a test of excellence in Dermatology and Venereology. It is designed to assess the knowledge and clinical skills requisite to the delivery of a high standard of dermato-venereological care both in hospitals and in independent clinical practices.

The EBDVD Examination is the responsibility of the UEMS European Board of Dermatovenereology (UEMS-EBDV). The first examination was held in August 2007 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Thereafter, the examination has taken place in Frankfurt every year. Since the year 2016 has been installed computer-based online examination in cooperation with Orzone AB, Gothenburg, Sweden.

There are usually candidates from all over Europe and other countries outside the Europe. The EBDVD Examination in most countries of the European Union is voluntary. However, many countries in the Europe recognizes this examination as conforming to their own National Specialist Examinations.

The EBDVD Examination is regarded as a quality mark at the end of specialist training. Passing a European Board Examination does not give a right to practise in any country of the European Union Member State or a signatory country of the European Economic Area Agreement and the Switzerland. Such rights are granted solely by the relevant National Authority.

The EBDV Diploma/Certificate does not implicate automatic allowance to work at own responsibility and does not automatically enhance participation in national social security systems of the EU, EEA and the Switzerland. Recognition of EBDV Diploma by the national authorities is encouraged by the UEMS. The number of countries officially adopting the EBDV Diploma qualification with subsequent legal validation and automatic mutual recognition in the EU, EEA and the Switzerland is continuously rising.

Passing the EBDVD Examination will be a quality mark for you, which might be of use in your country.

Additionally, this might give you an extra mark if you decide to work in a European country provided that you fulfil other necessary requirements.

The exam is a prestigious qualification and would be a valuable addition to your CV. It is the highest honor EBDV can award.
