Can you also see and treat patients with a biomedical background and immunology training?

I wonder if you with the following background: biomedical sciences, PhD in immunological subject and and training as Immunologist, you are also allowed to see and treat patients? I also wondered if you still have to study medicine and become a medical doctor, do you still have to specialize further in immunology in order to become a doctor-immunologist and be allowed to treat patients?

Answer

Dear Louis

I think it is best to inquire about this at an information day or the student administration office of a university.

With an education as a scientist you are not allowed to treat people.
