Certification
Certification reflects satisfactory completion of the fellowship’s clinical, surgical and academic components within a structured postgraduate training environment.
The fellowship is designed as an integrated educational experience rather than a simple observership. Its certification pathway is therefore linked to active participation, professional conduct, supervised clinical and surgical training, and engagement with the academic dimensions of the program.
Successful completion is based on overall fulfillment of the fellowship expectations across the year and on satisfactory progression within the training structure. For this reason, this page should be considered together with Participation, Training Pathway and the Handbook.
