Review history

The Dutch Orthopaedic Association vacancy page remains available as the official source for the one-year post, but its stated response deadline has passed and the page does not establish a later recruitment round. On 8 October 2026 the NOV vacancy page shows the Alrijne shoulder-elbow fellowship open with responses requested before 19 October (year not printed). NOV vacancy (checked 9 Oct 2026, posted ~2 weeks earlier) asks applicants to respond 'vóór 19 oktober a.s.' via the MSB Alrijne job-portal form, which is live.

OrthoFellow is an independent directory, not the fellowship provider. Confirm dates, eligibility and funding with the host.
