HSS Stavros Niarchos Foundation Academic Visitor Program

The HSS Stavros Niarchos Foundation Academic Visitor Program is designed for orthopaedic surgeons from Greece to observe surgical and clinical care, be exposed to best practices in orthopaedic surgery and experience the culture of excellence at HSS.

Participants will observe patient care and complex surgeries in state-of-the-art operating rooms; they will also participate in Grand Rounds, professional education programs, a visiting professional lecture series, and journal clubs, as available.

Applicants must be either:

• Greek orthopaedic residents in their fourth or fifth year
• Greek orthopaedic surgeons who are one to two years post-residency
