Fellowships, Grants and Awards
EANS Spine Fellowships, Sponsored by Synthes
Application Deadline 30th November 2009
This year, Synthes have very generously endowed three further two month fellowships, making a total of five.
The fellowships offer a great opportunity to further your training in this specialist field, as the comment below, from a previous fellow, indicates:
During my fellowship I was exposed to many aspects of complex spinal surgery and gained experience in the different techniques of occipito-cervical and cervico-thoracic fixation including anterior approaches to the thoracic and lumbar spine. My mentor demonstrated outstanding skills, not only as a surgeon but also as a teacher, with the result that the spine fellowship has exceeded my expectations
