Program Director Message
Dear Prospective Fellows,
I would like to thank you for your interest in our Fellowship Program, which provides a broad and in-depth experience in all aspects of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery.
Our outstanding fellowship-trained faculties have a wide range of sub-specialty interests including pediatric and adolescent hip disorders, limb deformity reconstruction, spine deformity correction, neuromuscular disorders, congenital anomalies and sports medicine. During the two-year program, fellows are rotated between different subspecialties and take part in running specialized clinics such as developmental dysplasia clinic, clubfoot clinic, neuromuscular clinic, limb reconstruction clinic and spina bifida clinic.
Fellows are expected to take part in teaching our pediatric residents and medical students. Every fellow is expected to undertake a research project that leads to at least one publication. Own research ideas are encouraged; however, joining current departmental research is also welcomed.
Embracing the future of pediatric orthopedic surgery with a passion for innovation and excellence, we eagerly anticipate walking alongside you through this transformative journey. Your dedication to shaping the lives of our youngest patients is both inspiring and commendable. Welcome to our vibrant community of learning and healing.
Warm regards,
Dr. Sattar Alshryda
