Post-fellowship Development and Education

Establishment of Post-fellowship Development and Education Committee

One of the missions of the College is "to foster the continuing medical education of orthopaedic surgeons who have completed their training for the public benefit". Recognising the importance of this, the College has started the discussion of improving post-fellowship development and education since 2011. Opinion on post-fellowship education was sought through open forum. Consultation was made among different stake-holders.

It was decided in the Council meeting in 2019 that the mode of post-fellowship development and education will be REGION-BASED. The aim is to provided platforms of advanced orthopaedic training in different sub-specialties to all the members of the College.

The current post-fellowship development and education program include the followings:

1. HKCOS EDUCATIONAL DAY
2. CADAVERIC WORKSHP
3. CLINICAL ATTACHMENT PROGRAM

HKCOS EDUCATIONAL DAY

"HKCOS Educational Day" is a region-based quarterly-held one-day academic program organized by the College. The program is cross-specialty, including trauma, joint replacement, sports medicine, musculoskeletal oncology and paediatric orthopaedics, etc. The format of the teaching includes:

1. Didactic lecture series
2. Debate – "Orthopaedic crossfire sessions"
3. Surgical demonstration and video presentation – "How I do it …?" series
4. Interactive case discussions

The first region to be covered in the HKCOS Educational Day is KNEE.
