Following my internship at UHWI, I completed my Residency in Orthopaedics at the University of Ottawa, Canada in 1984. I returned to the UHWI and was Head of the Division of Orthopaedics until 2010. During my tenure, I created, developed and implemented the Orthopaedic Training Programme at Mona. The Programme has to date produced 34 surgeons for Jamaica and the English-speaking Caribbean. Eight of those surgeons have obtained Fellowships abroad and have returned to the Caribbean
Specialized surgery (limb lengthening and Deformity Correction) was developed following my Fellowship in Italy in 1996.
