PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A three-to-twelve-month Vienna clinical or research pathway across oncology, reconstruction, spine, infection and paediatric orthopaedics. Applicants first obtain departmental acceptance, then complete International Affairs processing; the home institution normally retains salary, clinical tuition is EUR 29,000 per year plus processing unless waived, and country-specific lead time can reach nine months.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Supervised specialty experience, an individual training plan, academic lectures where available, international exchange and professional networking
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.
