The International Fellowship Program in Microsurgery at Uppsala University Hospital: A Paragon Throughout Europe

Personal reports with valuable information on plastic surgery fellowships from all over the world are about to accumulate in recent years. Whereas some institutions have rightly become widely renowned for their excellent microsurgery fellow training in Taiwan, Canada, United States, and Australia, less is known about European fellowships focusing on reconstructive microsurgery. As former fellow at the Department of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden, the author hereby presents a survey on a unique and exemplary 6-month microsurgical fellowship offering hands-on training, academic education, and not last personal development to ambitious candidates who pursue a career in reconstructive microsurgery.
