Open official programme page ↗Verification notes
The page says visitors support the operating team (Hospitation); it does not state whether hands-on surgical participation is permitted. Entry stage is 'after completion of medical studies', so trainees and specialists are both eligible (mixed). The same text also appears on the TUM Klinikum Deutsches Herzzentrum München department page.
