Application status: Official sources conflict: the 2027–2028 call gives applications 3–30 November 2026, while course page /58 displays both “inscrições encerradas” and an application deadline of 30 November 2026. Current availability remains unconfirmed pending clarification from HCB.
Funding: No scholarship; the placement is educational and creates no employment relationship. Application and enrolment fees apply.
Exposure: Practical paediatric neurosurgery for neurosurgeons already trained in general neurosurgery: hydrocephalus and neuroendoscopy, craniosynostosis and craniofacial syndromes, spinal dysraphism, paediatric brain and spinal tumours, trauma, vascular disease and epilepsy surgery, in outpatient clinic, ward, ICU and operating room; first assistant in the first six months and surgeon with the mentor in the last six.
Eligibility: The 2027–2028 call explicitly addresses foreign professionals, subject to applicable professional, immigration and licensing requirements; it does not waive the stated CNRM/MEC residency prerequisite.
Still to confirm: Current status · Accommodation
