BSSH International Visiting Fellowship
24 March 2021 (Last updated: 14 Apr 2021 10:07)
This prestigious Fellowship has been created and funded by the British Society for Surgery of the Hand. It launches in 2021 and will run annually thereafter. Its aim is to foster international links and friendships across the speciality, to facilitate sharing of education, research and best practice in Hand Surgery.
Four International Hand Societies are each invited to select and nominate an eligible candidate. The four successful Fellows will engage in a two-week visit, travelling between three UK hand surgery centres, allowing 3-4 days of learning and observation in each centre. The Visiting Fellowship culminates with complimentary registration for the BSSH Autumn Scientific Meeting and attendance at the Society Dinner.
All travel and accommodation within the UK will be provided, but travel to and from the UK will be the responsibility of the fellow. The Fellowship is open to Full Members or Trainee Members of the invited Hand Societies. Applicants should be in their final year of training, or no more than 5 years following completion of their surgical training/board certification.
The 2021 Fellows are:
- American Society for Surgery of the Hand: Dr David Brogan
- Indian Society for Surgery of the Hand: Dr Varadharajan Vigneswaran
- Austrailian Society for Surgery of the Hand: Dr Stephen Butler
- Federation of European Societies for Surgery of the Hand: Dr Anne Perruisseau-Carrier
