PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A six-month Melbourne clinical-and-research fellowship spanning paediatric and adult shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand surgery across five hospitals. Current host pages confirm Kemble Wang's cross-age upper-limb scope, while stipend, eligibility and application details remain tied to the 2023 AOA summary.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Cross-age 'cradle to grave' upper-extremity exposure at The Royal Children's Hospital, Box Hill Hospital, St Vincent's Private Hospital, Epworth Eastern and Glenferrie Private Hospital
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.

The verified individual profile describes a focus in Paediatric and adult shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist and trauma surgery.

Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source.

Faculty rosters may change.
