Research, Education and Community Care

Research

Every year, the Foundation receives a wide array of applications for research grants that explore different aspects of orthopaedic science, from diagnostic techniques to new surgical procedures. A panel convened by the Canadian Orthopaedic Research Society judges the grant applications according to their scientific merits and ultimate clinical benefits to patients.

Education

The Foundation works closely with professional organizations for orthopaedic surgeons, nurses, residents, researchers and other health care professionals and commits annual grants to these organizations for their continued education toward improved patient care.

The Foundation is committed to patient education and to providing patients and their families with accurate, up-to-date information that will make going through orthopaedic surgery a little easier and less frightening. We welcome your input in the design of our programs. Click here to let us know what would be valuable to you and your patients.

Community Care

A portion of fund-raising proceeds are allocated both locally and nationally. Because the strength of public health care varies across the country, hospitals and surgical staff, through their fund disbursement committees, determine the use of their funds for the highest benefit according to local need. Uses may include equipment purchase, continuing professional education and other priorities - all of which result in improved patient care.
