Overview
AO host-centre listing for Samsung Medical Center. Application is made to AO, not to the hospital. Note: The Samsung Medical Center observership page (https://www.samsunghospital.com/en/healthcare-professionals/education/observership-electives.do) does not list Orthopaedic Surgery among departments accepting international observers, whereas the AO Recon host listing and the Samsung orthopaedic department page mention visiting-surgeon training. AO Recon placement is arranged by AO, not through that page.
