ASAPS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

The ASAPS Fellowship program has been developed to expand on the pre-Fellowship training in aesthetic surgery that is an integral part of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery training. This allows sub-specialisation in an area of interest such as breast surgery, facial surgery, rhinoplasty surgery, body contouring surgery. At the end of the College training we would like to offer our graduates the option to learn and compliment their aesthetic knowledge and skills by doing a fellowship. Fellowships are supported by our industry partners in the form of scholarships to augment the stipend for these fellowships. The following fellowships are currently available, although timing is subject to availability. They are all for 6 months and some are run by individuals and some by a group of surgeons.
