Qualifications
Not published on the cited profile
Host-centre faculty assigned by TSASS is listed in the cited programme evidence as programme lead / named supervisor for TSASS Arthroscopy Fellowship Program. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Sports Medicine. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
Host-centre faculty assigned by TSASS is listed by the official programme source as programme lead / named supervisor. A separate individual short CV has not yet been verified by OrthoFellow.
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.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Published fellowship history
The page still carries a 2023 programme heading, but its qualification text explicitly says applications are due before 15 November each year. The Gmail address serves application submissions; the tsass.tn address and header phone serve general secretariat enquiries, so they are complementary rather than conflicting contacts.
APPLICANT PROFILE
Current TSASS members who are orthopaedic surgeons or residents in at least their fourth year
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Published language requirement
Applicants must speak and understand English, French or Arabic
OrthoFellow keeps language requirements separate from clinical eligibility. A programme may use English operationally without publishing a formal test score.
