Published benefits and support

NUH reports that fellows participate in clinical and basic-science research and that most complete one or two scientific articles during the fellowship.

Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
