Mission & Vision

The mission of the Programme is to provide healthcare professionals with high-level scientific education in breast diseases. The curriculum encompasses epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, conventional and targeted treatment, supportive interventions and research.

Breast diseases are among the most common conditions affecting women. Their prevention, diagnosis and treatment—particularly in breast cancer—require close collaboration among multiple specialties. The Programme therefore equips students with knowledge contributed by all the disciplines required for contemporary, comprehensive patient care, in accordance with national and international guidelines.

The Programme has a threefold focus:

• Educational: To train early-career physicians and scientists from related disciplines in the field.

• Scientific: To deepen specialist knowledge and contribute to the generation of new knowledge.

• Professional: To enhance graduates’ career development through knowledge and skills applicable to clinical practice.
