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.
Lower Limb Arthroplasty Research Fellowship
The fellowship is largely clinical, with a heavy weighting towards knee surgery. Some flexibility exists to structure the fellowship with additional exposure to hip and / or shoulder surgery.
North Queensland Upper Limb Arthroplasty and Reconstruction Fellowship
The fellowship is largely clinical with a heavy weighting towards shoulder and upper limb surgery. Some flexibility exists to structure the fellowship with additional exposure to knee and / or hip surgery depending on the fellow’s preferences.
