VHSF TESTIMONIALS

“The virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship was an outstanding educational experience, offering a wealth of practical insights and up-to-date knowledge in upper limb surgery. I sincerely thank Mirella for her dedication, passion, and for sharing her vast knowledge in such a clear and engaging manner. The sessions were thoughtfully curated, and the quality of teaching from all the speakers was truly commendable. Each lecture brought a unique perspective, deepening our understanding of complex anatomy, surgical techniques, and patient care. It was a privilege to learn from such a distinguished faculty, and their passion for teaching was evident throughout. I’m grateful to have been part of this enriching program and look forward to applying the knowledge in clinical practice.
