CITY FELLOWSHIP DIRECTORY · TIER A

Orthopaedic Fellowships in Basel

Basel combines University Hospital host connections in reconstruction, spine and trauma with shoulder education and paediatric orthopaedic training. Different AO networks can refer to the same hospital but use their own selection process and curriculum. Compare the relevant society route with any independently advertised hospital appointment, and check whether the intended experience is a short educational placement or a longer fellowship. The paediatric pathway has a different patient population and training scope from adult reconstruction.
