The full entry publishes a postal address and faculty roles, but no applicant email/telephone or dated host intake. Named surgeons are not inferred to be administrative contacts. Central call timing, existing funding, duration conflicts, individual faculty evidence and all unreviewed facts remain unchanged. A host listing is not a vacancy announcement.
