Developing Future Spine Experts

The Spine Foundation is passionate about building young future spine experts. Our Fellowship Program acts as a stepping stone to the future leaders in spine surgery. The three-year intense journey offers specialised training to postgraduate orthopaedic surgeons under the mentorship of some of the most experienced professionals in the field. Fellows further get hands-on experience with a wide array of spine surgeries through interaction with experienced specialists in the best hospitals in Mumbai. So, in this deep dive of practical learning, fellows' surgical techniques are refined, with an added development of qualities of leadership and a deep understanding of the latest developments in spinal healthcare.

But we go beyond just technical skills. Our program teaches fellows to treat patients ethically and holistically, with integrity and a strong sense of responsibility to their communities. Fellows learn new modern techniques and gain confidence treating various spinal disorders with the aid of simulations. Moreover, they learn to appreciate the needs of underserved populations. The Spine Foundation combines clinical excellence with compassionate care to train spine specialists who will improve global spine health.

Expanding Access to Spine Care

The Spine Foundation knows that specialised spine care remains out of reach for far too many—and we are committed to bridging the gap. Our Fellowship Program goes one step ahead of traditional training by raising a generation of surgeons dedicated to health equity. Fellows further sharpen their surgical skills in Mumbai's leading hospitals.They also rotate through hospitals into the community to carry out outreach activities. This diversified training helps them directly understand such challenges to impoverished community populations, be it from finances to geography.

In this immersive experience, fellows gain a deep awareness of what are the barriers faced by the impoverished community. They learn to work innovatively within multidisciplinary teams for the creation of practical solutions, like telemedicine or mobile clinics, to overcome barriers. The Spine Foundation has an increased focus on inclusive practice and community involvement, thus being able to groom fellows not only into excellent surgeons but also passionate advocates of access to healthcare, making sure all those in need of spine care can receive quality treatment.
