Program Overview
MGA Medical Global Academy’s Orthopedic Oncology Fellowship is an advanced clinical fellowship for surgeons and physicians interested in pursuing a career in musculoskeletal tumor management. This well-organized program focuses on practical aspects of clinical decision-making, surgical strategy and multidisciplinary management in orthopedic oncology. This program offers a well-rounded mix of classroom instruction and clinical practice that allows fellows to gain proficiency in the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors. The program covers the entire spectrum of orthopedic oncology care, from initial consultation and interpretation of imaging studies to biopsy and tumor excision, limb preservation strategies and rehabilitation. Emphasis is placed on incorporating contemporary treatment strategies, such as limb-salvage procedures, endoprosthetic reconstructions, and collaboration with medical and radiation oncologists. Attendees are taught how to handle complex oncologic cases through a multi-disciplinary approach working with radiology, pathology, oncology, and rehabilitation specialists.
