Official contactCentre Orthopédique Santy fellowship contact form
A flexible Santy shoulder observership separated from the longer clinical fellowship so it appears in OrthoFellow's short-visit directory. The host's register demonstrates durations from a few days to about one year. The three-month non-EU limit shown here belongs to France's short-stay immigration route rather than to Santy's academic programme; longer visits depend on the applicant's visa or residence status and host approval.
Intended for: International orthopaedic surgeons and trainees seeking a flexible shoulder observership or short educational visit
