PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
The published AZ Sint-Lucas Gent hip fellowship offered four to twelve months of side-by-side, individually adapted post-residency training with contractually agreed remuneration. Its BOTRA listing expired on 30 June 2026, so this profile is closed until the host publishes a successor cycle.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Individualised schedule, side-by-side teaching and a pathway from supervised participation toward independent work
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.

Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile.
