International Membership and
Advanced Clinical Fellowship Program

Program Objective

The German Surgery Foundation's mission is to support the education and training of surgeons and dentists worldwide. To this end, an innovative teaching concept has been developed in conjunction with the International Medical College® (IMC), which has been recognised as exemplary on several occasions by the Accreditation Council of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany and has been accredited since 2004 in accordance with the Bologna and Lisbon Criteria systems.
The merger with Dresden University of Technology as the degree-awarding institution for the master's programmes will enable the training and continuing education programmes offered by DCS and IMC to be significantly expanded.
To establish a globally renowned membership and fellowship program dedicated to advancing clinical excellence and innovation, courses have been developed in collaboration with internationally renowned universities and experts in various fields.
