Welcome to FORTE Summer School
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are very pleased to invite you to the 9th edition of the FORTE Summer School 2026 in Catanzaro, Italy. The FORTE Summer School is an exceptional learning experience that has become a cornerstone for Orthopaedic and Trauma trainees across Europe.
From Monday to Friday, the FORTE Summer School offers two different courses in two separate conference rooms that will run in parallel. In one room, the Comprehensive Review Course (CRC) will be available for those who wish to expand their knowledge by attending a general review course. In the second room, the Exam Preparation Course (EPC) will be available for those seeking more interactive training in preparation for the National Exams and the EBOT Exam. Participants can engage in case discussions and interact with the experts in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere.
Our faculty is highly experienced, including more than 50 elite international experts and EBOT examiners, ensuring that all subspecialty topics are covered and high-yield exam topics are discussed in depth. High-quality comprehensive lectures, structured case presentations, and keynote lectures from pioneering surgeons will be the cornerstones of our educational objectives.
You can expect a state-of-the-art learning experience combined with a pleasant social program that will not only advance you professionally but also make it an enjoyable and enriching experience.
Join us in Catanzaro next summer, the “city of the two seas” in the area of legendary Magna Graecia, to learn from the best, connect with your peers from all over Europe, and gain insights that will help you excel in your future career. Learning and networking in a wonderful setting. Register for the FORTE Summer School and become part of our community.
