About the Hospital & the Division:
The Hospital for Sick Children is a public, teaching hospital specializing in leading-edge paediatric care, education and research. The Division of Orthopaedic Surgery is one of the busiest departments in the hospital caring for chronic and acute conditions to the most complex patients with musculoskeletal disease. We believe that interdisciplinary care, collaborative research and valuable teaching we will give fellows the skills required to undertake the most important questions in children’s musculoskeletal disease.

Training Program:
Our fellowship program is structured to meet the individual needs of the fellow. Five fellows are recruited each year (two in January and three in July.) Fellows will undertake rotations with several surgeons. A typical weekly schedule include two operating days, two clinic days and one research day. The training program ensures that fellows gain experience in all of the major areas of paediatric orthopedics. Our goal is for fellows to develop highly competent skills and sound clinical judgment to be an excellent academic paediatric orthopaedic surgeon.
The areas of responsibility include operating time, fracture treatment, outpatient clinics and inpatient wards. The fellow will participate in emergency call with responsibilities close to that of a staff surgeon, but with a staff surgeon and resident also on call. In addition, the fellow may also participate in clinics held in affiliated institutions dedicated to the care of children (e.g. Bloorview Kids Rehab, Erinoak Kids, etc.)
Fellows are required to participate in clinical research projects. In most cases, fellows produce papers for presentation at major meetings and for publication in major peer reviewed journals. The Division has research coordinators and administrative support to assist the fellows in their research projects and obtaining research ethics approval.
The Division strongly encourages fellows to attend conferences and provides a stipend to cover the travel expense.
Paediatric orthopaedic fellowships in Canada are not accredited with the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada.

• SickKids Orthopaedic Surgery’s fellowship is recognized internationally for its clinical, educational and research excellence.
