MacSports Fellowship

Reach Your Potential

Welcome to the MacSports Fellowship Training Program. Our mission is to educate and empower the surgeons of tomorrow with the capacity for evidence based clinical care, critical thinking, creativity and a proclivity towards lifelong learning. The development of these attributes surrounds a core of technical training in the art and science of orthopaedic surgery.

The Division of MacSports at McMaster University has a robust research environment with a broad spectrum of opportunities for resident research. Clinical Trials Research and Evidence-Based Methodology are key strengths of the Division.

Fellowship Program

MacSports aims to attract top clinical and research-minded orthopaedic surgery fellows and provide them with the skills and knowledge required to function as excellent orthopaedic surgeons and researchers.

The breadth and depth of the surgical experience our clinical fellows receive reflect directly back on our Division by way of how successful our graduates are in their subsequent surgical careers.
