    Past Specialty Day Programs
  • The Rothman-Ranawat Traveling Fellowship
  • The 2020 Hip Society Rothman-Ranawat Traveling Fellowship has been cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic.  The 2020 Fellows will be traveling in 2021.  Therefore, we will not solicit applications for the 2021 program.  Application process for the 2022 program will begin in April of 2021.
    Named to honor the significant contributions, and to preserve the legacy, of Richard H. Rothman, MD, PhD 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.  MORE
