Unlike our Fellowship Program, the Expert Program is designed to fit your schedule and the availability of the ISAPS Expert - the timing of your visit is negotiable. Coordinate a time that works for both of you and start planning your visit. Since availability differs between experts, be sure to check each ISAPS Expert's page for their specific availability before making your decision.
We offer visits to ISAPS Experts throughout the year. Expert Program visitors can select from 21 of our ISAPS experts across 12 countries around the world. Check out all the program's experts and apply to visit them.
