Since 1989, the ESMO Examination endorses that a medical oncologist possesses the knowledge, skills and aptitude essential for the optimal treatment of cancer patients. The ESMO Examination is a valuable assessment tool for practicing medical oncologists and an excellent opportunity to medical oncologists in training to assess their knowledge. Successful candidates will be certified for 5 years and after that period recertification can be either by re-taking the ESMO Examination (on passing recertification for a further 5 years) or for ESMO members participation in the ESMO Medical Oncologist’s Recertification Approval (MORA) which is a proof for continuing medical education that allows ESMO members to remain certified in medical oncology. If approved, the recertification is also valid for 5 years.

Online test with sample questions from previous examinations. To optimize preparation for the ESMO Examination, we recommend to all eligible applicants to follow regularly on scientific updates published in the major oncology journals, including Annals of Oncology, and material available in other ESMO educational products and services.
