Clinical Fellowship in Robotic Lymphatic Microsurgery & Lymphatic Biology 80-100%
USZ
The Clinic of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery at the University Hospital Zurich is providing the full spectrum of plastic and reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, burn care and sarcoma surgery. Our clinic has more than 10 years of experience in lymphatic reconstructive surgery, has been among the earliest adopters of robotic microsurgery worldwide and possesses a solid research foundation, ranging from basic to translational and clinical research.
Fellowship purposeThis 3–6 month advanced fellowship trains surgeons and physician-scientists in (1) robotic-assisted microsurgery / supermicrosurgery workflows and (2) translational lymphatic biology, with a focus on lymphatic reconstruction. The fellow is integrated into a high-volume academic plastic surgery service and a structured research program linking surgical innovation to lymphatic science. The fellowship has been designed with a 60% clinical and 40% research focus to maximize the benefits of this dedicated time.
The Fellowship is unpaid. The accommodation in Zurich will be organized and sponsored by the fellow. The language during the Fellowship is English. German language knowledge is found to be helpful. Fellowship Types
