OVERSEAS FELLOWSHIP
Dear colleagues
Greetings from the Indian Association of Cardiovascular Thoracic surgeons!
The Queensland Children’s Hospital, Brisbane under the mentorship of Dr Prem Venugopal is offering a Paediatric (Congenital Cardiac Surgery) fellowship
Applications for Fellowships starting mid February 2026 are welcome.
The fellowship would be for one year. Candidates who have atleast two years experience post MCh or DrNB / DNB will be eligible. A good exposure to paediatric surgery will be in their favour. The IACTS plays a purely facilitatory role. The candidates are expected to return to India and serve our nation. An employment reassurance from their parent institute to this effect would be necessary.
The last date for applications would be 22 Aug 2025
The interview is scheduled for 10 am 29 Aug 2025 Indian Standard time. One or two surgeons from the Queensland Children’s Hospital and a senior paediatric cardiac surgeon appointed for this interview by the IACTS would interview the candidates.
An application fee of Rs 8500 would be charged. Kindly fill up the form to apply.
Best wishes
Dr Jacob Jamesraj MB MS MCh FIACS FRCS Edin
