VOS TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP
Dear Colleagues,
It gives us a great pleasure to announce the Travelling Fellowship of VOS...
The main idea behind starting this fellowship program is to keep our members
updated with time.
Every year 2 fellows will be selected-one from major city and one from district
or Taluka place. The idea is again those who are working at small places they should
get an equal opportunity to keep updated with the time. The Fellowship will be for
duration of 5 to 7 days at reputed centers in India in different sub specialties of
orthopedics. The list of those centers who have agreed to accept the fellows from
VOSN is attached.
A sum of rupees Fifteen Thousand will be paid to each fellow for this
fellowship program for travel, food and their accommodation. After completion of
fellowship the fellow will have to submit his report to the Secretary, Fellowship
committee, VOSN and it will be mandatory to present his experience in a power point
format in the subsequent academic meeting of VOSN.
This traveling fellowship will benefit orthopedic Surgeons in many ways. Each
fellow will have the Opportunity to interact with many orthopedic leaders which will
promote a powerful and professional development network. It will provide them a
stepping-stone for future.
We are providing the application form with this circular. Those who are
interested are requested to kindly submit the application as earliest as possible.
Applications received after 10th October will not be accepted.
The applications received will be sent to the committee, consisting of senior
orthopedic surgeons and their decision will be communicated to the candidates by
VOSN immediately.
Thanking you,
Dr. Ravi Bhajani
