Two compatible Specialist programmes can build a pathway to a Master's
The model is designed to be stackable: 30 ECTS + 30 ECTS can form the academic basis of a Master's, provided there is curricular compatibility and formal approval by EIU. Entry may require academic integration, additional assessment and a Master's Final Project.

Practical training and scientific immersion
Programmes with a practical component may include stays, observation, laboratory work, seminars or scientific immersion at IISCRM and/or partner centres, always within the applicable regulatory framework and scope of practice.
Preparation
Virtual campus, fundamentals, protocols, safety and evidence criteria.
Immersion
On-site sessions, observation of procedures, laboratory methodology and discussion of cases or projects.
Application
Problem solving, protocol design, analysis of results and scientific evaluation.
Integration
Final project, academic presentation and transfer of learning to a professional or research context.
A Chair that does more than teach courses
The Chair combines postgraduate education with scientific discussion, projects, international collaboration and transfer of knowledge.
Scientific seminars and journal clubs
Review of recent literature and critical discussion of results.
Research projects
Promotion of academic, translational and collaborative projects.
Consensus and scientific documents
Development of recommendations and position papers where there is a sufficient methodological basis.
International collaboration

Rigour, safety and evidence
Innovation is meaningful only when it is accompanied by methodological rigour, patient safety, ethics and transparent communication of the strength of evidence.
Separating science from promise
The Chair must clearly identify which interventions have sufficient clinical evidence, which are under evaluation and which remain experimental.
Responsible training
Innovation does not replace regulation, bioethics, informed consent, traceability or clinical judgement.
International outlook
The programme may compare regulatory frameworks and scientific practices across jurisdictions without presenting a local authorisation as universal.
Clinical translation
Scientific knowledge is connected to professional decision-making without overstating evidence or scope of practice.
Leadership and scientific committee
The Chair is organised into four academic governing bodies. Their membership will be announced as appointments are formalised.
Chair Leadership
Academic responsibility, scientific strategy and oversight of the programmes.
