About the EAFPS International Observership Program
The EAFPS runs an observership scheme in which active members spend one to three months observing at accredited European facial plastic surgery centres. The Academy publishes a list of observership centres (24 named surgeons in several countries, including Germany, Croatia, Italy and Türkiye) but contact details are held in the members area. Host specialties include plastic surgery and ENT, with the focus on facial plastic surgery.
- Format: Observership, 1–3 months. Observation without practising rights; the page describes a period of clinical observation and training and states that it is not a fellowship and confers no formal credentials
- Who can apply: Active paying EAFPS membership and a certificate of completed specialist training in plastic surgery, ENT or oral and maxillofacial surgery (MD only).
- International applicants: International eligibility, licensing and visa support are not confirmed; travel and accommodation are arranged by the observer
- Funding: Unpaid and unfunded; an administration fee of EUR 500 is charged on the reviewed page
- Intake and dates: Applications accepted year-round No fixed deadline; applications are accepted year-round (Programme listed — intake not confirmed).
- How to apply: Choose a focus area, contact an accredited centre directly to agree availability and obtain a letter of acceptance, then email eafps@eafps.org with the centre, proposed timeframe and acceptance letter. The administration fee is paid once the observership is confirmed.
