This fellowship is documented as being one of the most intense reconstructive microsurgical fellowships in North America. Dr Price has worked at various hospitals around the country and internationally, including: Groote Schuur Hospital; Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital; Frere Hospital; Pelonomi/Universitas Hospital; Zurich University Hospital; and Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre and Children’s Hospital.
