The role will develop educational and experiential knowledge and skills in post-CCT level knee surgery. The fellow will have comprehensive exposure to the full spectrum of knee surgery, including primary and revision knee arthroplasty, uni-compartment replacement, robotics, osteotomy, arthroscopic, open soft tissue reconstructive knee surgery, and sports surgery. Supervised 'independent' operating, appropriate to competency, will be available, along with exposure to teaching lists. Although there is no formal rotaed on-call or trauma lists, there may be some rotaed weekend ward rounds with other fellows and opportunities to contribute to trauma lists, especially for complex trauma cases such as periprosthetic fractures and revisions.
