Reviewer notes: Page states fellowship training is established in all registered fellowships (vascular, trauma, GIT) but gives no duration, eligibility or application steps. Related Wits pages describe a separate supernumerary fellowship route for specialists from underserved countries (2 years, self-funded, HPCSA registration and visa required).
