International development
Nice University Hospital (UH) is a public institution and the leading provider of general hospital services for nearly a million and a half people in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. It provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art services organized around its ambulatory care unit, full or weekly hospitalization, short-stay, post-acute care, rehabilitation and long-term care.
At an international level, Nice UH participates in several European and global programs with major French university hospitals. Thanks to its advantageous location on the Côte d’Azur, Nice UH benefits from multiple cross-border agreements and has signed international partnerships with more than 20 countries.
Nice UH international partnership focus areas are : training, patient care and consultancy.
Training
Nice UH offers various training programs for medical and nursing professionals: from a week-long practical course to 2-year fellowship program, all trainings focus on developing the best professional skills and practices. Courses are designed to suit medical and nursing professionals’ needs and provide a unique opportunity for hands-on field experience.
Fellowship programs
Nice UH offers extensive postgraduate training in specialty or subspecialty disciplines in highly specialized medical and surgical departments. Fellowship programs provide premium education and training for physicians and are overseen by every medical department.
These 2-year physician training programs are mentorship-driven and focused on both the acquisition and the refinement of clinical skills. They are addressed to foreign medical graduates seeking to pursue a career in a subspecialty discipline, and combine independent learning with modern clinical training and faculty mentoring. Clinical fellows may be involved in research and teaching and may provide clinical service as part of their training program. However, the primary goal of the clinical fellowship program is for the trainee to gain knowledge and skills in a particular discipline, not to provide service.
Nice UH has created fellowship standards which all programs must comply with. These standards have been created to ensure that all fellowships offer high educational value. A fellowship certification is issued at the end of the training, reviewing and validating the qualitative and quantitative objectives detailed in each program’s handbook.

- Bariatric surgery

- Endocrine and diabetes
