Observerships

Education and continuous learning are at the core of EPOS. We are happy to introduce a new networking space for short clinical and research observerships.

These observerships provide an exceptional opportunity – particularly for young surgeons – to gain valuable exposure in specialised clinical settings.

Participants will be able to:

✔ Observe surgeries, procedures, and patient care routines.
✔ Learn about diverse techniques and patient management approaches.
✔ Experience advanced surgical tools and techniques not readily available in their current practice.
✔ Gain insights into innovative procedures and cutting-edge research.
✔ Build professional connections with experts in the field.

No participation fees! Observerships are free of charge – participants only need to cover travel, accommodation, and meals. With minimal administrative requirements and flexible durations of just a few days, they are designed to fit seamlessly into busy schedules while enhancing career prospects.

How to Get Involved

➡ For Hosts: If you would like to offer an observership, send the details (host’s name, affiliation, observership description, and contact information) to the EPOS Central Office at secretariat@epos.org. Once reviewed, your opportunity will be published on our website.

➡ For Applicants: Browse available observerships below and contact the host directly to apply.

Take advantage of this unique initiative to expand your expertise and connect with leading professionals in paediatric orthopaedics!
