EAU Entrance Exam case studies
EAU Entrance Exam · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The EAU Entrance Examination is the assessment pathway associated with the European Association of Urology, the specialty society behind the European Board of Urology (EBU) curriculum and the European urology training standards. Candidates are typically urology residents nearing the end of training, recently qualified urologists seeking to demonstrate a European-level knowledge base, and international graduates whose national training differs from the European model.
