The 2026 Research & Excellence Fellows of the MSc “Sialary Gland Diseases” participated, using their Scholarships, in the courses of the International Sialendoscopy
The aim of the MSc program is to train postgraduate students in the management of diseases of the salivary glands.
The salivary glands and their pathologies represent a significant part of daily clinical practice across multiple medical specialties, primarily Otorhinolaryngology, but also Maxillofacial Surgery, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Oncology, and diagnostic specialties such as Radiology and Nuclear Medicine.
The variety of specialties involved highlights both the breadth and complexity of the modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to salivary gland diseases.

The number of students admitted each year is set at a maximum of 25 postgraduate students. The MSc program accepts holders of undergraduate degrees from Greek and foreign higher education institutions, specifically graduates of Medical Schools from Greek universities or recognized equivalent institutions abroad. The program is addressed to physicians awaiting specialization, residents, and specialized doctors in Otorhinolaryngology, Maxillofacial Surgery, Pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, and General Practice.
A central role in shaping the curriculum and the teaching method is the improvement of the professional training opportunities for the graduates. Thus, alongside theoretical knowledge, the Programme offers stimuli and practical exercises for the acquisition of skills that young doctors can utilize (simulation) as well as the practical application of the knowledge they acquire. All these constitute valuable tools for their medical career at both academic and professional levels.
It is particularly significant that this orientation is the result of cooperation and exchange of views with two Scientific Societies of Panhellenic scope: the Panhellenic ENT Society and the Hellenic Society of Salivary Glands, so that the taught material and the objectives of the Master’s Programme are, to a considerable extent, jointly shaped with the aforementioned Societies with the aim of the optimal utilization of the provided knowledge at a professional level.
