PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A two-week AOFAS travelling fellowship for five selected members, combining the 2026 AOFAS/IFFAS meeting with observational visits to OHSU, Harbor-UCLA and Northwestern. The 2026 cohort is already selected, so the profile is marked closed rather than open for applications.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Meeting participation and a multi-centre educational itinerary with leading foot-and-ankle surgeons.
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.
