2022 ABC Travelling Fellowship Blog

The ABC fellowship is an ‘American/British/Canadian’ tour of North America and Canada.  This prestigious five-week fellowship is open each year to applicants from the BOA who have been an appointed consultant for less than 10 complete years.  Four BOA-nominated fellows participate alongside one each from South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the cohort due to travel in 2020 have had their plans significanly disrupted.  After discussions with the American and Canadian Associations, arrangements have been made for the 2020 cohort to tour Canada and the United States in June 2022 for four weeks with the North American contingent returning in the Autumn.

The current travelling ABC fellows have created a blog which they are updating daily as they trek across Canada and the USA visiting some of the world’s best orthopaedic centres.
