Commencing dateSessions start on 1 January and 1 July each year
Application route / cycleRela Institute states that Post-Doctoral Fellowship admission is twice a year, on 1 January and 1 July, with at most 8 trainees per year per fellowship programme (or 4 per session). It gives two different application rules: last date for registration 28 February (January session) and 31 August (July session); and, separately, applications open 3 months before the session in March and October and close 1 month before the start date. Applications with an up-to-date CV go to the Academic Director at academics@relainstitute.com. The page gives no year, so no dated opening or closing date can be stated; the stated deadlines are inconsistent and should be confirmed with the Academic Director. Conflicting official information: The same Rela admission page gives two different application timings: registration deadlines of 28 February / 31 August, and an application window opening 3 months before the session (March and October) and closing 1 month before the start date.
The host lists MS/DNB Orthopaedics or an equivalent international qualification for arthroscopy; its separate sports-medicine course also lists MD/DNB PMR. Confirm the applicable route.
