What this program offers
A four-award ASEAN fellowship supporting six months at NUH or SGH in orthopaedics or hand and reconstructive microsurgery. NUS publishes the full financial package, eligibility, documents and SMC language route; dates are ad hoc and the next application period remains TBA.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Four funded awards annually, return economy airfare, registration and insurance fees, application fee and monthly living allowance
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.
HOST INSTITUTION
About National University Hospital or Singapore General Hospital
A detailed institutional profile has not yet been published by OrthoFellow for this listing. Use the official host or program link to review the hospital, university, training sites and facilities directly.
The cited evidence does not provide a programme-specific faculty roster that OrthoFellow can safely publish. Open the official source or submit an institutional correction; names and portraits are never inferred from department membership.
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.
APPLICANT PROFILE
Doctors from ASEAN countries, preferably younger than 36, who have completed orthopaedic training and the specialty examination and have at least three post-specialist years of experience
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Published language requirement
If the basic medical qualification was not taught in English, SMC requires IELTS Academic 7 in every component, TOEFL iBT 100 or an accepted equivalent such as OET Grade B; results are generally valid for two years
OrthoFellow keeps language requirements separate from clinical eligibility. A programme may use English operationally without publishing a formal test score.
