Dear Colleagues,
If you have not yet heard the news, I am delighted to inform you that Dr. Maryse Bouchard has been named an ABC Travelling Fellow for 2027.

This is the most prestigious travelling fellowship in Orthopaedics, started by Dr. R.I. Harris, one of our most esteemed faculty and former chair of our Division. Maryse joins a long line of former travelling fellows from our Division including Drs. John Wedge, Jim Waddell, Allan Gross, Robin Richards, Nizar Mahomed, Albert Yee, Rajiv Gandhi and Bheeshma Ravi, to name a few.

Maryse will represent the COA on next year’s international tour, joining five colleagues from the American Orthopaedic Association and Dr. Jarrett Woodmass from Winnipeg for a multi‑week journey through leading centres in the UK and South Africa. Their selection reflects outstanding clinical leadership, academic excellence, and a commitment to advancing Canadian orthopaedics on the global stage.

Congratulations, Maryse, we look forward to hearing of your travels next year!
