Description
One month fellowship at Curry Cabral Hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, as a CIRSE Fellow under the supervision of Prof. Tiago Bilhim.Spending one month in Lisbon was a valuable professional experience. It offered direct exposure to procedures that are less frequent in my own centre and gave me new ideas for how to improve workflow and patient care.
What I appreciated most was the openness of the team. Prof. Bilhim and his colleagues were always ready to explain their approach, discuss alternative strategies, and involve me in daily practice. Their attitude created an environment where learning was continuous.
The fellowship also reminded me of the importance of exchange across centres. Seeing how the same procedures are approached in different hospitals highlights not only technical differences, but also the flexibility of interventional radiology as a discipline. It is encouraging to know that by adapting protocols to local resources and patient populations, high-quality outcomes can be achieved in many ways.
I am grateful to Prof. Tiago Bilhim for his guidance and for welcoming me into his department, to the IR team at Curry Cabral for their hospitality and professionalism, and to CIRSE for supporting this programme. The fellowship was a meaningful opportunity to learn, reflect, and grow as a clinician.
