Training
Nice University Hospital has a major teaching mission, with a highly skilled support team of 900 senior medical doctors, including more than 80 professors. We welcome more the 1 200 students in medicine and 600 in paramedical training.
Therefore, Nice University Hospital 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 University Hospital 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-years 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 University Hospital 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,
