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.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Published fellowship history
The live OTA directory supersedes the earlier static three-position abstraction and now matches IU at two fellows. IU's 1 November host deadline controls because OTA identifies 2 November only as a suggested general deadline and instructs applicants to follow programme dates.

Published international eligibility information
