The Endocrine Surgery Association offers the opportunity to be an observer for 1 month at the 'Thyroid Cancer Center', which is located at Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital and is managed by Prof. Dr. Cheo So Park and Prof. Dr. Hang Seok Chang. Thanks to this program, which will be held twice a year, we believe that our young colleagues who are devoted to endocrine surgery will gain significant experience by being observers in a center where all types of thyroid cancer cases are performed and 2000-2500 cases (primary and complementary surgeries, local advanced stage patient surgeries, endoscopic and robotic surgeries) are performed annually. In addition to the organization, the Endocrine Surgery Association will provide 500 EURO support to the candidates who qualify. Scholarship requirements: 1.
