DATA QUALITY & AVAILABILITY

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A four-to-twelve-month Ghent shoulder fellowship with side-by-side teaching, a tailored schedule and progressive independence. Its published call ended on 30 June 2026, so the profile is retained for programme history and is not presented as currently recruiting.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Tailored timetable, side-by-side subspecialty teaching and progressive independence within a ten-surgeon single-joint specialist group
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.
HOST INSTITUTION
About ORTHO.GENT / AZ Sint-Lucas Gent
ORTHO.GENT delivers subspecialty orthopaedic care at AZ Sint-Lucas Gent. The Belgian resident association listing describes a side-by-side fellowship model with progressive independence.
The cited evidence does not provide a programme-specific faculty roster that OrthoFellow can safely publish. Open the official source or submit an institutional correction; names and portraits are never inferred from department membership.
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. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
