The ICRS and its partners have joined forces by offering several Fellowship and scholarship Programmes to the ICRS members. Applications are open only to young ICRS Members who are in good standing. The programme represents a serious commitment from ICRS and its partners to support highly motivated trainees and residents with basic science knowledge and clinical research skills. Together, we build a strong network and push for innovation. We believe that research is the engine of development and that linking and educating passionate young professionals is the way to advance the field of orthoregeneration significantly. Applications should be submitted before the deadline for each programme. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
This fellowship aims to provide an opportunity for international exchange for young orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, or clinical scientists interested in cartilage regeneration and joint preservation with a particular focus on sports medicine. This will be accomplished by a stimulating environment with exposure to both science and clinical application of treatments for joint restoration in athletes. Selected fellows will spend ten days in the Aspetar Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Hospital, Doha, Qatar. This is an ICRS and ISAKOS training centre and a FIFA-accredited medical centre of excellence, one of the leading institutions worldwide in the spectrum of sports injuries, applying a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis and treatment.
Fellows will visit the state-of-the-art facilities, including the sports surgery training centre, the sports medicine movement analysis laboratory, and the physiotherapy and rehabilitation area, and be exposed to other intriguing new treatment approaches like climatic chamber and virtual reality. Hosted by the godfather Emmanuel T. Papacostas, the fellows will arrive on January 30, 2025. They will also have the opportunity to conclude their fellowship by joining the 8th ICRS Surgical Skills Course “Understand it – See it – Do it”, February 6-9, 2025 (registration waived – lectures-only), which will bring together internationally acknowledged experts to highlight the most recent development in surgical techniques with regards to cartilage regeneration and joint preservation. A remarkable academic agenda on a full portfolio of cartilage treatment strategies and a special focus on knee and ankle injuries in sports pathology. The selected fellows will have the opportunity to network, exchange ideas in a high-profile hospital and sports facilities environment, view research facilities and surgical procedures, and participate in social and cultural events with the hosting cartilage repair community.
Two candidates will be selected and awarded with this fellowship covering the basic travel costs, hosting, and Surgical Skills Course participation (lectures-only) of this programme.
INSTRUCTIONS / REQUIREMENTS:
Following this experience, fellows will be required to provide a written summary of their fellowship experiences to ICRS. A short oral presentation may be required by ICRS to be presented during the next ICRS International Congress.
