Clinical fellowship

Microsurgery Fellowship Program

UCSF's microsurgery fellowship offers a year of training in microsurgical reconstruction with room for fellows to follow their own interests. The case mix includes a busy gender-surgery practice, microsurgical breast reconstruction, orthopaedic oncology and trauma reconstruction, optional head and neck work and an interdisciplinary upper extremity nerve practice.

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Duration: One year, running from the start of August to the end of July
Clinical participation: Fellows attend all free flap cases within the plastic surgery group, take six weekends of attending-level call with a senior attending as back-up, and attend clinic one day a week when this does not clash with theatre
International applicants: The programme cannot sponsor visas; applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents who qualify for a full, unrestricted California medical licence
Funding: Salary is set at the PGY-6 level and includes a housing allowance (the page quotes a 2020-21 total of $88,505.68 and says scales are posted yearly); health and life insurance are provided and the programme pays for the fellow to attend ASRM
Application timing: Current deadline not confirmed; consult the official programme
