Education / Pedagogy / University hospital | | Italian term or phrase: borsista | | I had great difficulty deciding what category to put this question under, hope this is the right one! I'm translating a scientific article describing a survey carried out in the department of cardiology in a university hospital.

Can anyone advise me? Thanks, Sarah. |
