Fellowship in Arthroscopy

The Fellowship in Arthroscopy (Hospital-Based) is an advanced clinical training program designed to develop skilled orthopedic surgeons capable of performing and assisting in a wide range of arthroscopic procedures involving joints such as the knee, shoulder, and other major limb joints.

The fellowship offers structured, hands-on exposure to minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, operative decision-making, perioperative patient care, and multidisciplinary clinical practice under the supervision of senior orthopedic and sports medicine consultants. Fellows will develop strong procedural competence, surgical judgement, and confidence in managing complex arthroscopic cases.
