This is a pure research Fellowship to work with our Research Committee on a number of ongoing studies. The Fellowship is deigned to develop the academic career of a highly motivated individual though multidisciplinary orthopaedic research on multiple research projects.
This Fellowship is designed to educate the Fellow in all aspects of orthopaedic oncology including pathology, surgery, radiology and understanding of adjuvant therapies. The Fellow is expected to have completed his advanced orthopaedic training.
The Fellowship encompasses learning the direct anterior approach to the hip; assessing patients before surgery for suitability for this procedure; following them through rehabilitation; undertaking outcomes research; and observing a variety of hip arthroscopic procedures.
Dr Herald specialises in the management of sports injuries, trauma and arthritis of the shoulder, elbow and knee and is a current examiner for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS).
The Fellowship is an integral part of the Orthopaedic Unit of the University of Melbourne (Western Health). The Fellowship is principally concerned with the teaching of orthopaedic aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery.
