Fellowship/Residency Information

Valhallavägen 91

This orthopaedic residency program is designed with a special focus on arthroscopy and arthroplasty of the knee and hip joints. The program offers a unique combination of clinical training and academic development within a leading orthopaedic department. Applicants are required to be proficient in a Nordic language, as active participation in patient care and clinical teamwork is essential. Approximately 50% of the program time is devoted to clinical practice. During this period, participants are fully integrated into the department’s daily work and are expected to perform routine clinical duties. For this part of the program, the clinic provides a salary in accordance with current agreements. The remaining 50% of the program time is dedicated to observerships in clinical practice and/or active involvement in research projects, depending on the participant’s interests and career goals. For this part of the program, participants are expected to secure their own financial support, either through research grants, scholarships, or funding from their home institution. This structure ensures that participants gain both hands-on clinical experience and the opportunity to advance their academic or research profile, making the program well suited for those aiming for a career that combines clinical excellence with academic achievement.
