Programme scope and dated recruitment evidence
Indoamérica presents this as a two-year, in-person second medical specialty for already trained gynecologists/obstetricians or accepted related specialists. Its published timetable allocates most training hours to clinical service. The curriculum addresses maternal disease, fetal imaging and diagnosis, fetal therapy and research.
The ESAL2026 advert offered 24 self-funded places. Its original 13 April–15 May application period and the subsequently revised calendar ending in an advertised 3 August academic start are historical. Neither the advert nor the programme page establishes that any of those places remain available.
The 10% tuition scholarship requires an individual request by selected candidates, and the source lists application, enrolment, annual tuition and graduation-support charges separately. Its displayed investment totals are not treated as a guaranteed all-inclusive quote. English A1 documentation is not evidence that the clinical teaching language is English.
