International Visiting Scholars (IViS) Programme · Urology placement

Asan's hospital-wide IViS programme accepts overseas physicians for training of up to one year, with approval by the host department. The application form is not urology-specific, so a placement in the Department of Urology must be confirmed. Asan's overseas brochure separates IViS from a government-to-government hands-on fellowship open only to named countries.
