PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers

BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support

Kai Ziebarth is listed in the cited programme evidence as section head and prospective host lead for Inselspital Bern Paediatric Orthopaedics Fellowship / Observership. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Paediatric orthopaedics and traumatology. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
Inselspital lists PD Dr Ziebarth as the senior physician in its current paediatric-orthopaedics team. The service describes internationally recognised hip-preservation work and invites fellows worldwide to enquire about fellowship or observership attachments.
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.
