Master in Chirurgia Toracica

Students of the Chirurgia Toracica programme spend their five years in the Simulation Center of Humanitas University, where they gain crucial experience in managing high-stress and emergency situations.

The curriculum integrates clinical practice, simulation, and translational research to equip students with the skills required to handle complex, oncological, and emergency interventions.

Students develop expertise in areas such as thoracic endoscopy, minimally invasive surgery, and the management of respiratory, cardiac, and vascular diseases.

Professional development is nurtured through collaborations with international centers of excellence, and the programme promotes research activities through conferences, seminars, and interactions with national and international research groups.
