PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A six-month Melbourne upper-limb clinical-and-research pathway under Greg Hoy with shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist surgery, elite-sport exposure and two research deliverables. MOG currently publishes the duration and stipend, while the next intake and application deadline remain unconfirmed.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support

Gregory Hoy is listed in the cited programme evidence as fellowship supervisor for Melbourne Orthopaedic Group Shoulder, Elbow and Upper Limb Fellowship (VIC1109). The verified individual profile describes a focus in Shoulder, elbow, hand and upper-limb sports surgery. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.

Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
