Due to German regulatory requirements, Scholars are not permitted to participate in hands-on patient treatment or chairside assistance within the scope of this program.

The Scholar will be actively involved in case discussions, treatment planning, and structured observation of complex surgical procedures. Emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and exposure to advanced referral cases.

This program is designed for candidates seeking advanced academic and clinical insight without direct patient involvement. It is particularly suitable for clinicians aiming to refine their understanding of complex implant cases, peri-implant diseases, and evidence-based decision-making in a high-level academic environment.
Applicants should be motivated to actively engage in clinical discussions, structured observation, and research activities.

Fluency in English is required.
German language skills are an advantage for participation in clinical discussions but are not mandatory.

The ITI Scholar must obtain and maintain their own medical health insurance. The ITI Scholar must also obtain or provide documentation that meets university requirements on all vaccinations necessary to be in patient-facing facilities and obtain the necessary health clearances prior to being granted access to patient serving areas.

We strongly advise you to consider cost of living (housing/rent, food, transportation, etc.) in the city of this ITI Scholarship Center, as certain destinations can be very expensive. It is essential to understand that the ITI scholarship stipend does not cover all living expenses but only contributes to these. Therefore, make sure you are fully aware of the cost of living in the city of this Scholarship Center if you consider applying for it. You must be prepared to co-finance the cost of living out of your own pocket. The ITI cannot provide additional funding during the scholarship year.
