COMMON QUESTIONS

Hand and Microsurgery fellowships in North America: FAQs

How many hand and microsurgery fellowships are there in North America?

OrthoFellow currently lists 105 hand and microsurgery pathways in North America at 105 institutions, across 3 countries. Counts reflect verified listings, not every programme that exists.

Which North American countries have the most hand and microsurgery fellowships?

The largest North American destinations in this directory are United States (100), Canada (3) and Mexico (2).

How do you apply for a hand and microsurgery fellowship in North America?

There is no single North American application system. The United States runs subspecialty matches through societies and SF Match, Canadian fellowships are usually applied for with each university programme, and Mexican and Caribbean programmes are applied for with the host hospital or university. Check each country directory for its own route.

Can international surgeons do a hand and microsurgery fellowship in North America?

Sometimes, but hands-on clinical work requires licensure or a training permit in the host country and, in the United States and Canada, usually specific residency credentials. Observerships and research posts can have lighter requirements. Confirm the permitted role, registration and visa with each host.
