PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
CNBC's published 2026 paediatric orthopaedics fellowship was a one-year, one-position pathway for Indian nationals with MS or DNB Orthopaedics. It included Senior Resident-level remuneration, optional paid accommodation and high-volume paediatric exposure; selection occurred in December 2025, so the 2026 call is retained as closed rather than presented as open.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Exit-exam certificate, paediatric orthopaedic library resources, academic activity and research exposure in a department reporting more than 100 publications and book chapters
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.
ACCOMMODATION & RELOCATION

✓ Official source mentions accommodation
⌂
Paid hospital accommodation may be provided subject to availability, with applicable HRA deducted.
Housing availability, rent, deposits, utilities and relocation support can change by intake and appointment type. OrthoFellow does not estimate living costs unless an official source publishes them.
