Paediatric Orthopaedics Fellowships Programme

The Division of Paediatric Orthopaedics welcomes overseas doctors to visit our division as fellows. In general, the waiting list can be quite long. Early application is therefore advised.

There are two 6 monthly fellowships per year, one starting on the 1st Jan of each year and the other 1st July.
