A meeting set up by the Hon Sec and John Callaghan (Iowa) with Charles Engh and Dick Brand of the AHS sealed the deal with the American Hip society at the AAOS in Dallas. Two young UK surgeons (SpR's or Consultants within 5 years of appointment ) would visit centres of Orthopaedic excellence in the USA for three weeks in the early fall of 2003 and then bi-annually. Two North American surgeons of similar status would visit the UK in 2004 and then bi-annually.BHS Travelling Fellows AHS Travelling Fellows Applications for 2009 The next round of applications will be for the 2009 travelling fellowship
