Clinical scope and case mix
Training in diagnosis and treatment of arterial, venous and lymphatic disease at Clínica Dávila; operative volumes are not stated. The official source documents the training themes listed above; exact case numbers, independent responsibility and operative autonomy are not inferred when unpublished.
Research exposure: Research activity is described by the indexed source; review the official page for the current scope.
Funding, fees and support
The named 2026 vascular place was self-funded, and applicants paid for the psychological assessment. The call gives no programme tuition amount. The university separately describes scholarship and institutional-agreement competitions.
Accommodation, relocation, insurance and additional fees are not assumed when they are absent from the official source.
Source limitations and conflicting information
The current faculty page separately requires validation of foreign medical and specialist qualifications. The linked calls page is an application route, not evidence that a vascular intake is currently open.
The curriculum grid documents rotations and assessments across two years. It does not publish individual operating numbers, independent privileges, tuition or a current application window.
The programme-linked 2025 instruction PDF now returns 404. The accessible university selection page provides a route framework, not a confirmed vascular award or application deadline.
