PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A six- or twelve-month Brisbane upper-limb fellowship combining sports, arthroplasty, revision, arthroscopy and trauma with surgical-planning technology and research. The 2025 AOA summary publishes stipend, criteria, documents, faculty and contact, while capacity, deadline and a confirmed open intake remain unpublished.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Clinical and research experience in an upper-limb technology practice, including pre-operative planning, innovation and a required research deliverable
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
