Orthopaedic Seminar Institute

Federation of Orthopaedic Trainees In Europe FOTE

education@forte.eu.com

We began life at the trainees session of the EFORT Congress in Lisbon 2005.

At the outset, our aims are the following:

Friendship and fellowship

Outreach to orthopaedic surgeons (trainee and consultants), links with industry

Reference point for Orthopaedic Training matters

Teaching and training

Exchange of ideas and communication

Because of the diverse training systems in Europe we have decided to work on two levels. At the top is a true Federation, where national trainee bodies subscribe. At the grass-roots level, individuals can sign up too.
