Townsville Arthroplasty and Reconstruction Fellowship
The ORIQL has two AOA accredited fellowship programs that provide orthopaedic surgeons with short-term supervised training in a specific sub-specialty of orthopaedic surgery: Lower Limb Arthroplasty Research Fellowship and Upper Limb Arthroplasty Research Fellowship.
The objective is to allow orthopaedic surgeons to develop their surgical skills in a sub-specialty through a work-based surgical program provided by a supervisor and institution.
