Our Department offers full training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology following the directions of the Greek Health Ministry and the EBCOG syllabus.

They are encouraged to attend conferences and courses and therefore take evidence based decisions in the everyday clinical practice. Emphasis is given to continuous education and the achievement of a strong background of theoretical knowledge along with practical skills.
