Testimonials
“The aim of a fellowship is to obtain the skills, decision making and confidence to start a safe and intellectual practice as well as gain a close group of colleagues to offer assistance for complex cases when return to independent practice. This fellowship has built on the years of experience with training and prior jobs to improve my upper limb exposure, decision making and education. Exposure to significant glenoid deformity, capsular reconstruction, tendon transfers, elbow arthroscopy and arthroplasty are weekly occurrences here. The confidence and responsibility given to fellows is accelerated and aids in independent practice and autonomy with supervision.”
“I have had opportunities to complete research projects, present at international meetings, attend courses and visit local and international surgeons. The close working nature with the Sports Medicine fellowship has allowed additional teaching opportunities and connections.”
“Living in Toronto with my young family for this fellowship has been a great experience and decision. I have gained close relationships with my supervisors/mates whom I have no qualms emails and asking for advice on cases, to discuss a new procedure or just catch up. I have had more time with them than training or regular consulting and free most weekends for family and travel. The lifestyle and people are welcoming, the city is vibrant, and a little expensive, and the Fellowship has been a great decision for my family and I.”
