The centre's aims to bring together surgeons for academic, social and mentorship purposes and to foster a mutually beneficial relationship with the Orthopaedic community. Both surgeons-mentors have themselves been part of such a process and benefitted from ISAKOS approved fellowships (under Sachin Tapasvi and James Calder) in the past. Program Details: Our intention is to take in 2-4 fellows per year. The fellow will have rotations with us and will be spending 3 months each training in Knee and/or Foot and Ankle surgery (with sports medicine in focus). Extensions or reduction of time spent in each sub speciality can be discussed based on interest and availability.
