The training program will be initiated following the completion of all formal procedures and will continue for 1 to 3 months. The internship will take place under the guidance of physicians working in medical institutions affiliated with Harvard Medical School.

“After consultations with healthcare experts and state authority representatives in Ukraine, our team identified reconstructive plastic surgery as one of the priority specializations for Ukrainian medicine.
