HOST INSTITUTION
About Erfan Niyayesh Hospital
Erfan Niyayesh Hospital in Tehran hosts a SICOT-funded hip and knee arthroplasty fellowship. Official SICOT pages describe a six-month placement for four surgeons each year, with scrubbing privileges in the Erfan hospital group; the listed call is currently marked closed, so intake timing should be confirmed on the SICOT fellowship notice before applying.
