Situated within a major tertiary teaching hospital, the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care of Prince of Wales Hospital, in affiliation with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, provides regional services for a wide variety of complex operations from orthopaedics, general surgery, cardiothoracic, obstetrics to neurosurgery. The well-established regional anaesthesia fellowship program of over 20 years has trained over 15 anaesthesiologists from around the world under the mentorship of world-renowned Professor Manoj K Karmakar, Consultant Anaesthesiologist and Director of the Regional Anesthesia Fellowship\/Visiting Scholar Program. Through the comprehensive training 2 year training program, program graduates acquired essential knowledge and skills, which they were able to bring back to their own institutions \u2013 enabling them to become leaders in regional anaesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n
During the 2 year fellowship, fellows will undergo a comprehensive training program on regional anaesthesia. They are expected to take part in providing anaesthesia services under the guidance of enthusiastic consultant anaesthetists, including Professor Karmakar. By being situated in one of the most prominent regional anaesthesia services in Hong Kong, the fellows are expected to leave the program with the knowledge and skills to not only competently provide regional anaesthesia, but also to develop or lead a regional anaesthetic service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fellows will be rostered to surgical procedures where regional anaesthesia is expected to be performed. Fellows are also expected to provide around 2-3 calls each month to help with service demands. Local medical and nursing staff are fluent in English and are able to help with translation and interpretation if needed. Our fellows will be provided with protected time to participate in quality improvement and research projects, and to provide teaching for anaesthesia trainees. All fellows are allocated mentors throughout the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
