The Hip Society Rothman-Ranawat Traveling Fellowship

From Our Fellows

“The Rothman-Ranawat

Traveling Fellowship provided a

wonderful educational

experience to our group. We

were able to visit centers of

excellence across the country

and learn from the leaders in

our field. The opportunity to

exchange ideas, build

friendships with each other and

with our site hosts, and spend

time both in and out of the

clinical environment while

touring the various sites was

invaluable to us. We are

extremely grateful to The Hip

Society for providing this

amazing opportunity.”

About

Named to honor the significant contributions,

and to preserve the legacy, of Richard H.

Rothman, MD U and Chitranjan S. Ranawat,

MD, The Hip Society’s Rothman-Ranawat

Traveling Fellowship is open to four (4) young

orthopaedic surgeons from North America

(USA and Canada), and throughout the world.

Once selected, the traveling fellows visit up to

ten (10) sites in North America as identified by

the Fellowship & Mentorship Committee. The

host sites structure the fellows’ visits to

include personal interaction, conferences,

surgical observations, and cadaver labs. The

ultimate goal of the fellowship is to offer the

young surgeons an inspirational tour of state-

of-the-art facilities providing exemplary

surgical care of the hip joint throughout

North America.

say we have had a fantastic trip. It has

truly been a journey on many fronts. I
