Fellowship in Arthroscopy - Hospital Based

The Fellowship in Arthroscopy is a structured 12-month training program designed to develop surgeons proficient in joint preservation and sports injury management. Fellows rotate through a comprehensive curriculum that includes diagnostic arthroscopy, advanced therapeutic procedures for the shoulder and knee, hip and ankle arthroscopy, sports medicine clinics, and musculoskeletal radiology units.

Fellows complete extensive surgical experience encompassing a broad spectrum of diagnostic and operative arthroscopies across major joints, along with reconstructive procedures such as ACL/PCL reconstructions, rotator cuff repairs, and labral surgeries.

A key strength of this program is its graded supervision model, which ensures progressive autonomy and skill acquisition. Training advances through systematic levels:

Level 1 (Direct Supervision): Early orientation with hands-on technical guidance
Level 2 (Indirect Supervision): Semi-independent practice with faculty oversight
Level 3 (Independent): Autonomous procedure performance with full outcome accountability

Aligned with ACCME-accredited CME/CPD standards, the fellowship emphasizes educational independence, measurable outcomes, and competency-driven progression throughout training. Continuous assessment is integral to the program, incorporating monthly surgical logbook reviews with faculty sign-off, weekly video review sessions, and case-based discussions for feedback on clinical decision-making and complication management. Competency milestones are formally evaluated biannually across domains, including patient care, medical knowledge, professionalism, and communication skills. Scholarly development is fostered through completion of case reports and quality improvement projects, guided by experienced faculty mentors. Professional growth is further assessed via 360° evaluations involving nursing, physiotherapy, and operating room personnel.

Upon successful completion, graduates will be fully equipped to independently manage arthroscopy practices, actively contribute to multidisciplinary sports medicine pathways, and engage in academic publication. Certification is awarded exclusively on fulfillment of required procedural volumes, scholarly work, and professional evaluations.
