ISAKOS Global Traveling Fellowship
Purpose of the Award
The ISAKOS Global Traveling Fellowship is intended to foster the international exchange of knowledge and
skills in the field of sports orthopaedic surgery. Coordinated by the ISAKOS Traveling Fellowship Committee,
the fellowship will provide the opportunity for young orthopaedic surgeons from five regions to travel with
an ISAKOS Godfather to the region of the next ISAKOS Congress. Fellows will have the opportunity to observe
sports orthopaedic surgeries performed by highly respected surgeons, discuss the surgical procedures and
all aspects of patient management, and discuss and share research experience.
