University of Zagreb School of Medicine is named in the EURAPS Institutions directory as a host department for the EURAPS Residents Scholarship, a funded one- or three-month study visit for European plastic surgery trainees. The directory gives no programme content of its own, so this is a society-listing entry rather than a published fellowship curriculum.
