This inter-continental exchange programme is run in collaboration with the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Surgery (AOSSM). It is a scientific and cultural exchange between orthopaedic sports medicine physicians in North America and Asia-Pacific. The programme provides the fellows a valuable opportunity to exchange scientific information, stimulate research and develop collaboration and lifelong friendships.

​

For each travelling fellowship, THREE fellows are selected to visit overseas sports medicine institutes and facilities for 3-4 weeks, and are accompanied by a reputed senior orthopaedic sports medicine specialist as the “Godfather”. During the tour, fellows will

​

1.) participate in scientific symposia with host surgeons and give presentations;

​

2.) view research facilities and surgical procedures;

​

3.) attend a national sport medicine meeting in the region they are visiting and

​

4.) participate in social and cultural activities with the local sports medicine community.

​

The fellowship covers travel, accommodation and minor expenses. It is sponsored by DJO, whom we thank for their loyal support.
