How many SICOT fellowships are listed on OrthoFellow?

OrthoFellow lists 32 orthopaedic programmes connected to the International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology (SICOT), across 20 countries, led by Germany (5), Egypt (3) and India (3). Each programme is counted once, even when it has several host centres.

Which SICOT fellowships are open now?

2 of the 32 SICOT-connected programmes currently show an active, upcoming or explicitly rolling application signal. Status labels on each card below come from the programme's official source; confirm the current cycle there before applying.

Which subspecialties do SICOT fellowships cover?

What does the SICOT listing mean for applicants?

Society-sponsored pathways: SICOT co-funds named orthopaedic fellowships with host hospitals and universities in several regions. Application status, duration and support are programme-specific and must be checked on the current official call. An organisation listing does not by itself establish your eligibility, medical licensing or visa sponsorship, so check each programme profile.

Where is the official SICOT fellowship directory?

The official International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology directory is at https://www.sicot.org/benefits/fellowships/. OrthoFellow links every programme back to its official source.
