Traveling Fellowship Program
The 2020 Traveling Fellowship Program has been postponed until 2021 due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Please note, the recipients below have all accepted positions in the 2021 Traveling Fellowship program, so there will not be an application period in 2021.
The Traveling Fellowship Program offers a special opportunity for mid-career AOFAS members to attend the AOFAS Annual Meeting and visit
leading foot and ankle research and educational institutions. The program is open to AOFAS Active, Candidate, and International Members who are 49 years old or younger at the time of application.
At host sites, Traveling Fellows will observe operating rooms, learn new surgical techniques alongside accomplished surgeons, and present their own research and clinical experiences. The program aims to promote professional relationships,
exchange ideas, and encourage new thinking on research and clinical care topics.
