Funded by SICOT & Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association
Every year, SICOT and APOA (Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association) offer four surgeons two- to three-week fellowships at centres of excellence in Asia Pacific countries. Two of these four fellows will be selected by SICOT from non-Asia Pacific regions.
The SICOT candidates will see their travelling expenses be reimbursed by SICOT (economy ticket only; taxis will only be reimbursed at a reasonable amount; airport shuttle bus service must be used in priority to taxis), and APOA will take care of the hosting and accommodation expenses.
Prerequisites:
must be a SICOT member with membership dues paid two years in a row at the time of the application (the year of the application and the year before)
must be 45 years or under at the beginning of the fellowship
must have at least 4 years of professional experience
health insurance coverage during stay at centre
medical check-up before travel
