AOTrauma fellowship – your next step?
AOTrauma fellowships are not courses, and they do not follow a curriculum. The knowledge acquired depends to a high degree on the initiative of the individual fellow.
Each AOTrauma fellowship lasts between six and twelve weeks. The selection and allocation of fellows is made by the AOTrauma Regional Boards and the Regional Fellowship Coordinator. Two host center preferences can be listed upon registration. However, the final decision lies within AOTrauma. Due to high demand, it is not possible to accept all applications for the program.
AOTrauma fellowship program
The application process is now closed and will open again for the AOTrauma fellowship program 2021 at the end of April 2020.
