Severance International Fellowship (SIF) is open to foreign physicians, dentists, nurses, medical technicians, or hospital administrators who wish to experience clinical care, operative procedures, and participate in research activities at Severance Hospital(Sinchon) Seoul, Korea. This program builds on the hospital’s long legacy and mission to educate future clinical leaders in healthcare and ultimately reducing health inequalities in the global society.
With the motto of 'perfect treatment, complete reconstruction', the breast cancer center is a one-stop location where all medical staff involved in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of breast cancer gather in one place to participate in patient treatment and regular discussions, and perform most of the tests on the day of treatment. We aim to provide breast cancer patients with the most accurate diagnosis and treatment promptly so that they can lead a complete life physically and mentally by establishing a regular medical system that allows patients to receive treatment on the day they want.
International trainees will be able to observe and participate in Robot breast surgery, Endoscopic breast surgery, and Oncoplastic breast surgery.
All participants of our SIF program will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training. The certificate will be issued by the President & CEO of Yonsei University Health System.
Severance Academy operates various SNS or online communities, where you can communicate freely with other international trainees who were in Severance before or will be training soon. You can get help from other physicians or medical staffs before you come to Korea and get some useful tips including their training experience, accommodations, good restaurants near the hospital etc. We will also update the newest news of Severance regularly at this homepage. Severance Academy will also host offline gatherings exclusive for international trainees, or invite you to official events hosted by Severance Hospital or governement institutions.
