Fellowship/Residency Information
1151 Richmond Street

The goal of this fellowship is to provide comprehensive education in the field of orthopaedic sport medicine with an emphasis on the development of a broad clinical and surgical expertise. In addition to a busy clinical and surgical setting, the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic group works closely with primary sports medicine physicians, physiotherapists and researchers to achieve a balanced approach to the care of injured athletes. The group is also responsible for the care of university athletes and coverage of athletic teams.
The fellowship is based on the preceptor model where fellows spend a three month clinical and operating room rotation with each of four consultants. This model offers opportunities for a broad experience in both arthroscopic and open procedures of the knee, shoulder and ankle. Fellows will be exposed to a large and diverse volume of cases; approximately 1000 knee and 500 shoulder arthroscopic procedures along with a wide range of open knee and shoulder cases (knee osteotomies, reconstructive procedures of the shoulder, including arthroplasty).
Surgeries are carried out at University Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre. All clinics take place at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic, located in the 3M Centre on the campus of Western University.
