COMMON QUESTIONS

Hand and Microsurgery fellowships in Asia: FAQs

How many hand and microsurgery fellowships are there in Asia?

OrthoFellow currently lists 36 hand and microsurgery pathways in Asia at 35 institutions, across 13 countries. Counts reflect verified listings, not every programme that exists.

Which Asian countries have the most hand and microsurgery fellowships?

The largest Asian destinations in this directory are India (11), Indonesia (5), Singapore (5) and Japan (3).

How do you apply for a hand and microsurgery fellowship in Asia?

There is no single Asian application system. Most orthopaedic fellowships in Asia are applied for directly with the host hospital, university or national society, while regional societies and foundations run separate fellowship calls. Check each programme's official page for eligibility, intake dates and the current cycle.

Can international surgeons do a hand and microsurgery fellowship in Asia?

Often, but hands-on clinical work usually requires temporary or limited registration with the host country's medical council, and some hosts accept international surgeons only as observers. Language, visa and supervision rules vary by country. Each country page and programme profile shows the published requirements.
