As the leading global academic community for innovative education, AOSpine invests heavily in the various forms of long- and short-term fellowship programs and observation opportunities.
AOSpine fellowships provide additional experience in surgical techniques for fully trained orthopaedic and neurosurgeons interested in spine surgery. An AOSpine fellowship familiarizes surgeons with the principles, indications, planning, techniques and complications in the areas of spine surgery performed at the center visited.
Fellowships are restricted to AOSpine members. Potential candidates must first send their application directly to their region of residence. Once approved, they can choose the region where they would like to be a fellow.
