PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A separate short-visit listing for non-EU applicants so the ICR opportunity appears in OrthoFellow's Observership directory. The ICR form confirms the observational-visit route; the three-month limit reflects the French non-EU short-stay framework and should be reconfirmed with the host for each applicant.

Pascal Boileau is listed in the cited programme evidence as fellowship supervisor / program leadership for ICR Nice Shoulder Observational Visit — Non-EU pathway. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Rotator-cuff surgery, shoulder instability, shoulder arthroplasty, fractures and sports shoulder surgery. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
ICR's official profile records Professor Boileau as the former head of Orthopaedic and Sports Surgery at Hôpital Pasteur 2 and former head of the Institut Universitaire Locomoteur et du Sport. It lists his University of Nice professorship, specialist orthopaedic qualification and research-supervision credential.
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.
