Description
AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), supported by the AO Foundation, offers veterinary research fellowships for motivated veterinarians seeking on-site research and development experience. The program focuses on relevant clinical problems in orthopedics and places fellows within an international, multidisciplinary R&D team. Its goals include developing research project management skills, producing tangible orthopedic research results, and broadening experience beyond clinical practice.
Veterinary fellows have participated in preclinical research, animal projects, and work involving animal models and orthopedic surgery. Their interests have included laboratory animal medicine, animal welfare, bone healing, and advanced imaging in musculoskeletal research. The fellowship also offers opportunities to learn across disciplines and build networks for future R&D and AO activities. Participants receive a certificate recognizing their ARI fellowship.
