Application route / cycleRolling; no application window published.
Visitor stays of one to six months at a high-volume sports orthopaedic clinic in Stockholm; unfunded. Note: The ISAKOS listing lists both 'observer only' and 'scrub in for surgery' as options, so the hands-on level is not fixed. A separate ISAKOS record (https://isakos.com/Fellowship/2332) describes a Nordic-language residency programme at the same clinic that is half salaried clinical work and requires proficiency in a Nordic language; it is not the visitor programme.
