Unclear — confirm privileges
Clinical exposureThe fellow assists the senior surgeons in clinic and theatre at Médipôle de Savoie, a private hospital covering nearly all surgical specialties. Elective work covers hand (trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty), wrist (partial or total arthroplasty), elbow and shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repair, Latarjet, total shoulder arthroplasty). All upper-limb trauma is operated on and makes up more than 50% of the winter programme because the hospital sits where major Alpine ski valleys meet. CAMSUP is a FESUM hand-trauma referral centre.
Participation levelClinical participation and hands-on restrictions must be confirmed directly with the host.
