Research and Education
The SPH Department of Orthopaedics is a major component of the UBC Department of Orthopaedic academic program. Our department provides training for UBC residents, subspecialty fellows and medical students. In addition, two highly recognized fellowship programs are offered: Foot and Ankle Adult Reconstruction and Hand and Upper Extremity. Annually, our fellowship program trains accomplished orthopaedic surgeons from Canada, United States and other international locations.
The upper extremity and foot and ankle research offices are located in St. Paul’s hospital. Over 100 co-op students and volunteers have been trained at the research offices. The research programs have contributed over 200 internationally recognized articles on topics such as minimally invasive surgery, ankle arthritis and wrist fractures. This research has been internationally recognized by awards and grants.
