The Foundation administers the Melbourne Knee Fellowship, a long-running surgical training program that reflects a strong culture of learning, mentorship and exchange.
Over the last 20 years, the Melbourne Knee Fellowship has equipped surgeons with advanced skills in knee treatment. Many are now senior leaders in their own right.
The Melbourne Knee Fellowship offers fellowship training in knee surgery within a practice dedicated solely to knees.
Based at Melbourne Knee Centre in Kew and affiliated with St Vincent’s Private Hospital, the program runs for 12 months, accepts one fellow per year, and provides exposure across all areas of knee surgery, with particular involvement in knee arthroplasty and knee arthroscopy.
Melbourne Knee Fellowship sits within a clinical environment shaped by high surgical volume, subspecialty knee training and a broader multidisciplinary model of care, where decision-making is refined by repetition, variation and complexity.
Melbourne Knee Centre has welcomed Fellows for more than 20 years. Many of those surgeons have gained senior academic and clinical roles internationally, including professorial appointments. The program continues to reflect a culture of mentorship, technical development and collegial exchange.
Patients move through assessment, surgical and non-surgical pathways, rehabilitation and post-operative recovery within one integrated centre, requiring Fellows to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, which builds understanding of the whole clinical journey.
