There is no single Latin American application system. Fellowships are applied for directly with the host hospital, university or national orthopaedic society, and some are accredited by national societies. Check each country directory for its own route and language requirement.

82 Latin American programmes currently show an active, upcoming or explicitly rolling application signal. The list on this page is sorted by the nearest published deadline; always reconfirm the date on the official programme page.

Some are salaried hospital posts or come with a grant or stipend; others are self-funded or observational. 132 of the 246 Latin American profiles currently publish salary, stipend or grant support.

Sometimes. Clinical work usually requires registration or revalidation of the specialist qualification in the host country and working Spanish or Portuguese, while observerships and research posts can be more flexible. Confirm the permitted role with each host.
