The UKBB offers six internships per month for paediatric sub-assistants, and up to eight places depending on applications for paediatric surgery. We are also happy to welcome international interns, but ask for your understanding that a certain number of places are reserved for national applicants.

The understudies for the paediatric wards - neonatology, paediatric intensive care unit (only on express request), emergency ward and the A1, A2 and oncology wards - are appointed by Dr Isabelle Pramana, Head of Neonatology.
