About the Residents Day:

The Ethiopian Residents Day is an event held to celebrate the collaborative work of Ethiopian Orthopaedic Residents and Trauma and Orthopaedic (T&O) Registrars in the Northwest.

Your Role as a Registrar:

The aim of this scheme is to pair T&O Registrars from the Northwest of England with Ethiopian Residents (mainly working in T&O) to facilitate collaborative projects (audits/research). The pair will communicate online to discuss, plan and carry out a small project. This collaboration is expected to last up to 3 months. The project will be presented at the Residents Day in March 2019.

Who can Participate:

Orthopaedic trainees in the Northwest can take part. Orthopaedic trainees who are situated elsewhere in the UK are also welcome to participate following approval from their program director.
