Join a 3–6 month advanced fellowship at a leading clinic with over 10 years of experience in lymphatic reconstructive surgery and pioneering robotic microsurgery. You will be part of a high-volume academic plastic surgery service and a structured research program focused on surgical innovation and lymphatic science. The fellowship includes both clinical and research components, with a 60% clinical and 40% research focus. Please note, this is an unpaid fellowship and accommodation in Zurich is organized and sponsored by you. The working language is English, and German language skills are helpful.
