BEFORE YOU SHORTLIST
What to check for spine fellowships in Turkey
A spine fellowship provides advanced training or research in spinal conditions. Surgical spine programmes may accept orthopaedic or neurosurgical graduates, depending on the host. Compare adult and paediatric deformity, degenerative disease, trauma and tumour exposure separately; interventional spine medicine is a different, non-surgical pathway.
- Host institutions in this list: Acibadem Altunizade Hospital (Istanbul, Turkey); Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University, Maslak Hospital Comprehensive Spine Center (Istanbul, Turkey); Ankara Spine Center at Memorial Ankara Hospital and Ankara Losante Hospital (Ankara, Turkey); AO Spine Fellowship Host Centers (Multiple recognised host centres worldwide).
- Published durations: 4–12 weeks; 4 to 12 weeks. Other programmes do not publish a length, so confirm it with the host.
- No programme here has a verified closing date ahead; open each profile for its rolling or annual cycle.
- 3 of 4 publish language requirements.
- International route: Internationally, spine fellowships run through university hospitals and networks such as AO Spine, EUROSPINE and the Asia Pacific Spine Society, including short-term fellowships open to surgeons from other countries.
