PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-year SIU hand and microsurgery fellowship with cadaver and microsurgery laboratories, research, two funded conferences and 21 leave days. The programme publishes annual application timing without a cycle year, so current availability remains unconfirmed.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Funding for registration and travel to two conferences, 21 leave days, free parking, meals, white coats and family-leave benefits
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.
