Divisional profile<br />

The Orthopaedic Surgery Department hosted the <strong>2011</strong><br />

CMSA Examination. All 4 candidates, Drs G McCollum, C<br />

White, S Bick and D McGuire excelled in both the March<br />

and September examinations with Duncan McGuire being<br />

awarded the Eidelstein Medal by the SAOA for the best<br />

performance of all candidates for the year <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

Much of the credit for this excellent performance is<br />

credited to the outstanding teaching from all our Senior<br />

Staff, with special mention given to Teddie Hoffman.<br />

<strong>Research</strong> output has picked up encouragingly with<br />

significant contributions from all sectors.<br />

The AO Spinal Fellowship was awarded to Dr A Puddu.<br />
