The department of Traumatology offers detailed insights for fellows, not only applied surgical knowledge but research opportunities. We offer fellowship programs ranging from 6 to 12 weeks up to 3 years. Applicants are responsible for Swiss immigration visas and all financial funding, either through official scholarship (e.g. AO or SICOT). Medical and Liability insurance are not provided. Please be aware that the primary language of communication is German, but dialogs in English are welcome amongst the team.

The division of trauma research is composed of 8 experts, directed by PD Dr. sc. nat. Paolo Cinelli. There are three main research topics: polytrauma research & inflammation, regenerative medicine, and osteoporosis & genetic fracture management.

The research laboratory is integrated in the Division of Surgical Research and is equipped with state of the art infrastructure and offers the possibility to students to perform practical internships. The University of Zurich offers additional Seminars, transferable skills courses and specific scientific courses which can be additionally visited.
