Every year, SICOT offers one surgeon a one year fellowship to SAANVI Orthopaedics located in Mumbai (India) in Hip & Knee replacement.

SAANVI Orthopaedics Mumbai, India is an Orthopaedic unit that is dedicated to the field of clinical research in Orthopaedics. SAANVI is working on several projects related to clinical research in adult hip and knee surgery. A number of scientific meetings have also been planned for the future.

Research Fellowships, in adult hip and knee surgery, are offered from SAANVI. The tenure is for a year. Research Fellow will be a full-time research assistant with dedicated sessions for literature search, data entry, and management of clinical work.

Research Fellow is responsible for carrying out and completing the projects. The Fellow will be supervised by the consultant. There are targets and deadlines for the projects. The Fellow is expected to present the papers in national and international conferences.

SAANVI Orthopaedics has plans to collaborate with some of the very prominent and popular research centers and personalities in the world.
