Information on scrub in opportunity

Due to Colombian legislation and institutional policies, international fellows are only allowed to participate in surgeries as observers, without direct patient contact or hands-on activities. This restriction is based on national legal requirements for medical practice under Law 23 of 1981 (Código de Ética Médica Colombiano), which states that only professionals licensed in Colombia can perform medical procedures, as well as Decree 780 of 2016, which regulates the authorization of foreign professionals and requires official validation and temporary professional registration for any clinical practice.
