Scusate la confusione. Avevo chiuso la domanda dall'inglese all'italiano perchè avevo sbagliato le combinazioni linguistiche ma vorrei che restasse dall'italiano all'inglese:
ha superato in data... con voti.... l'esame di specializzazione in CHIRURGIA PLASTICA E RICOSTRUTTIVA
Scusate, sarà banale ma devo scegliere tra postgraduate exam, final exam for specialising in... ecc., vorrei sapere se qualcuno conosce la formula che si usa nei cetificati di conseguimento di specializzazione. Grazie!

That is what post graduate means - after having graduated with a degree.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Cedric, but can I be sure post graduate implies the idea of a post degree specialisation? The certificate relates to a young man who has taken his degree, then has attended a specialisation school and has passed the final exam! |

Comment: "As the translation goes to the UK I think this answer is less specific than the other one that reers to the Americn system! Anyway thanks a lot to Lirka, too! "

board certification exam
In the US, after you've graduated from med school and done internship and residency [= specialization], you take a board-certification exam and become 'board-certified in...'
in your case:
'board-certification exam in plastic and reconstructive surgery'

Discussion
If I may add a comment, i'd leave out 'post graduate' in Cedric's suggestion, as that implies exams in other programs as well [e.g. MPH] plus specialization is a graduate program in teh US. Post-graduate is medical fellowship.
