Medical Residency Placements (DES)
Status: Open – accepting applications
YGOPH is a teaching hospital of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (FMSB) of the University of Yaoundé I. Every year, residents enrolled in specialist training programmes (Diplôme d'Études Spécialisées, DES) complete rotations in our services under the supervision of our professors, lecturers and senior specialists.
