    The Hip Society Fellowship and Research Fund was primarily established, in late 2011 – early 2012, to support The Hip Society Rothman-Ranawat Traveling Fellowship. This annual fellowship is open to four (4) young orthopaedic surgeons from North America and throughout the world. The traveling Fellows visit up to twelve (12) sites in North America within a period of approximately four (4) weeks, starting on Specialty Day (at the AAOS Annual Meeting). The North American hosting sites are identified by The Hip Society’s Fellowship and Mentorship Committee, and hosted by The Hip Society’s members.
