OBSERVERSHIP AT THE EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF ONCOLOGY

A clinical observership at IEO gives doctors the opportunity to learn from the clinical activities at our Institute. Clinical observers may observe clinical work and attend educational activities such as seminars and grand rounds. A clinical observership is not a ‘hands on’ experience and therefore does not allow any direct patient-care-related activities. Clinical Observers must have an agreement with a sponsor physician at IEO.
