PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
Rehasport's archived official brief documents a three-month comprehensive fellowship for up to three orthopaedic surgeons, while its current training page confirms ongoing small-group and surgeon-to-surgeon education. A current fellowship intake, international route, licensing terms and application portal are not published.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
A combined theoretical, clinical, operative-assistant, dry-lab, cadaver-lab, rehabilitation, research and medical-English curriculum.
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.
