Evidence and useful links
Source accessed: 21 October 2026. Source access is not the institution’s publication date, renewed accreditation, or confirmation of open recruitment.
Reviewer notes: The 2026 call lists the course but gives no duration; the 2022 catalogue lists only a 'Neumología y Cirugía de Tórax Pediátrica' course for paediatricians, so this may be a different entity. Verify before use.
