About

This is an international exchange programme for promising young orthopaedic surgeons.

It is run in collaboration with the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Surgery (AOSSM).

The chosen Fellows, we believe, will become future leaders in their field, and this fellowship will be their launching-pad, something they will never forget.

The purpose of the fellowship is to bring them into contact with the best of their peers, those in another continent.

The three chosen Fellows, accompanied by a ‘godfather’, will travel extensively in the US and Canada for three weeks.

They take part in scientific symposia with their hosts, become familiar with their research facilities and surgical procedures, attend a national sports medicine meeting, and enjoy the local culture.

The Fellowship covers travel, accommodation and minor expenses.

It is sponsored by ENOVIS, whom we thank for their loyal support.
