Two Week Hair Transplantation Training

The fellowship program will consist of both observational learning and assisting at the operating table during selected stages of the surgery. Since this is a cosmetic surgery and our patients are all private paying patients, students will not be allowed to handle the patient independently at any time. Patients’ privacy, patients’ rights, and patients’ interest will be considered first and foremost. 

Any procedure in which the trainee has to participate, prior permission will be sought from the patient. Patient interest and medicolegal aspects will govern the involvement of trainee in all cases.

It is advised that the student read available material on the internet thoroughly. The teaching will be didactic and will consist of questions and answers. No formal lectures will be taken. We generally have surgeries almost daily; however, this cannot always be predicted and guaranteed. So it is possible that there may not be any surgeries on certain days. The opportunities for the trainee also depends on the requirements of a given case. Discretion of the senior doctor will be final in all such matters.
