Fellowship Pathways in Istanbul for International Doctors
Our Fellowship Placement in Istanbul helps international postgraduate doctors secure faculty-approved placements with end-to-end coordination by ARCAS.
ARCAS coordinates structured fellowship clinical placements in Istanbul for postgraduate doctors seeking deeper continuity, subspecialty direction, and real-world workflow benchmarking. Final scope of activities is defined by the host institution’s policies, supervision framework, and departmental feasibility
A fellowship pathway is a structured, time-bound clinical placement designed for deeper continuity and professional benchmarking. The programs combine independent learning with modern clinical training, faculty mentoring, didactic instructions and top-notch research. Each program offers a variety of opportunities for interested fellows, ie. clinical expertise, research, subspecialty areas, and multidisciplinary proficiency.

Postgraduate clinicians (residents, specialists, fellows) seeking focused subspecialty direction, workflow benchmarking, or longer-format continuity in a high-volume academic environment.
You share your academic background, current level (resident/specialist), and a clear clinical target (subspecialty + procedures you want to benchmark). We then design a best-fit placement plan and route your request for academic feasibility review within an appropriate unit.
If the department confirms feasibility, we issue your official offer with dates, scope, and a fee range. A coordination deposit activates end-to-end management (routing, documentation pack, confirmation flow, onboarding guidance) and is deducted from the total if you proceed. Throughout the pathway, ARCAS remains your single point of contact for coordination and follow-up.
Fellowship acceptance is ultimately mentor- and professor-dependent. When appropriate, we recommend a short 1–2 week observership in the same unit before a longer pathway—so both sides can confirm fit, align objectives, and establish a strong professional introduction.
Fees are shared as a range after your documents are reviewed and the host department confirms feasibility and dates. Final pricing is stated in your official offer.
Deposit (deducted from total): A coordination deposit is required to activate end-to-end management and departmental routing. The deposit is deducted from your total if you proceed.
Typical duration: Most fellowship pathways are designed for 12–24 weeks; extended 3–6 month placements may be possible depending on department feasibility.
Indicative range: From USD 1,500–3,500 per week (varies by specialty, unit, duration, and season).
Deposit: Typically USD 300–500 (deducted from total).
International doctors often search for an Istanbul fellowship, medical fellowship in Turkey, or a fellowship placement programme with reliable coordination. ARCAS is a UK-based medical education company providing structured pathways, academic routing, and relocation guidance—while final acceptance remains subject to host-department approval.
We provide practical relocation guidance for Istanbul: recommended accommodation areas, commuting routes, local SIM setup, daily logistics, and a start-ready checklist—so you arrive prepared and focused.
