Now accepting applications for AO Spine 2023 Short-term fellowships

Fellowship

AO Spine fellowships provide additional experience in surgical techniques for fully trained orthopedic and neurosurgeons interested in spine surgery. They also familiarize surgeons with the principles, indications, planning, techniques, and complications in the areas of spine surgery performed at the center visited.

The AO Spine 2023 Short-term Fellowships are for fully trained orthopedic and neurosurgeons, and physicians with a strong interest in spine surgery in at least the fourth year of their residency. Fellows are expected to enthusiastically immerse in all aspects of the program offered by the host center.

The application period is open from May 1, 2022.

The fellowships are exclusively available for AO Spine Members and can be granted for a duration of 2–8 weeks in one of our renowned spine centers. All AO Spine Centers have gone through a rigorous application process in order to maintain our high academic standards and are led by committed members of our community.
