About the Program

The Qiu Weiliu International Fellowship Program builds on the IAOMS Foundation’s long-standing commitment to advancing education, training, and collaboration across the global oral and maxillofacial surgery specialty.

The program will support six months of immersive training at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Fellows will gain exposure to clinical and surgical procedures, academic engagement, research, and presentation opportunities in one of China’s leading oral and maxillofacial surgery institutions.

Through this experience, fellows will return to their communities with expanded expertise, stronger international networks, and new capacity to advance patient care, education, and collaboration in their home countries.

A Global Training Opportunity

The Qiu Weiliu International Fellowship Program reflects the IAOMS Foundation’s belief that advanced surgical education has the power to strengthen care far beyond one institution or one country.

Advanced surgical training changes more than one surgeon’s path. It strengthens institutions, expands access to expertise, and improves care for patients around the world.
