About the EPOS Education Committee

One of the goals of EPOS is to lead education in paediatric orthopaedics throughout Europe. A disease during childhood may have an impact throughout the adult life of that child – with enormous costs. Only by providing high-quality training for paediatric orthopaedic surgeons can we ensure that every child receives the best treatment and care.

The EPOS Education Committee sets out the EPOS Educational Programme, and is responsible for the planning, developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating of appropriate curricula for paediatric orthopaedic surgeons in Europe.
