Addressing rising cancer rates in Portuguese-speaking African countries, a surgical oncology fellowship, led by the Portuguese Institute of Oncology and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, trained residents and surgeons in Portugal. Following a standardized program, participants underwent hands-on training and assessments, with post-fellowship evaluations indicating enhanced knowledge, skills, and organizational abilities. Certified by a Portuguese university, the fellowship’s positive impact on fellows’ professional development underscores its potential recognition by local health and university authorities in Africa.
