This clinical fellowship represents the opportunity for wide exposure to a subspecialty sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery practice, allowing the clinical fellow to become familiar with both arthroscopic and open surgery for sports-related injuries. The main educational sites will be Toronto Western Hospital with Dr. Darrell Ogilvie-Harris. Additional opportunities exist with Dr. Christian Veillette. The clinical fellow’s responsibilities will include assessment of emergency and fracture clinic patients, observation of office and specialty clinic evaluations, and assistance in the operating room. A minimal amount of time will be allocated to teach on-service surgical residents about general orthopaedic and specific upper extremity topics of interest. On-call responsibilities will be performed with the Supervisor and are not burdensome (1 in 4 home call at TWH). Spare time will be used to read about observed cases, prepare presentations for rounds and complete a research project.
