PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A multi-centre skeletal-dysplasia clinical and research fellowship with regular three- or six-month and short visiting formats. Its historic 2025 phase deadlines are retained as context only and are not shown as open; applicants should first confirm the current call, training-centre allocation and any immigration requirements.
ACCOMMODATION & RELOCATION
Published housing information
✓ Official source mentions accommodation
⌂
Fellows are required to arrange their own accommodation.
Housing availability, rent, deposits, utilities and relocation support can change by intake and appointment type. OrthoFellow does not estimate living costs unless an official source publishes them.
HOST INSTITUTION
About Skeletal Research and Development Center / The University of Hong Kong
The SRDC-funded programme is coordinated by HKU and HKU–Shenzhen Hospital with participating centres including Duchess of Kent Children's Hospital/Hong Kong Children's Hospital, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center and Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
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.
APPLICANT PROFILE
Qualified overseas orthopaedic clinicians with specialist training or equivalent who wish to focus on skeletal dysplasia; a separate short-term route is intended for senior paediatric orthopaedic clinicians.
