Objectives/Interrogation: To analyze the clinical and professional utility of the grant from the experience lived by the awardees, based on personal travel.

Methods: Professional opportunity to complete continuing education in hand surgery, based on the selection of a referenced center or surgeon from Europe, setting goals for the travel: to participate in outpatient clinic, to assist in surgery room, and to attend teaching sessions.

Results and Conclusions: In 2018, 10 scholarships were granted, with an average of 2 weeks of travel. The awardees achieve the initially proposed objectives: to expand our knowledge in hand surgery with a focus on wrist surgery and biomechanic, to observe different clinic's routine including rounds, clinic hours and surgeries and to learn new approaches to well established diagnosis.

This fellowship has motivated awardees to continue studying, and to strengthen arthroscopic and microsurgical skills. This fellowship contributes significantly to our development as a hand surgeons.
