The Lucy Falkiner Fellowship

Dr Allan Young (2006)

Dr Young completed a Masters in Sports Medicine at The University of Sydney and in July 2005 submitted his thesis for a Doctor of Philosophy. He is currently a trainee with the Australian Orthopaedic Association Specialty Training Scheme and was the recipient of the Gordon Taylor Medal for the highest marks in the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Part One Examination.

The fellowship enabled Dr Young to study at the world renowned Center for Shoulder, Elbow and Sports Medicine at Columbia University under Dr Louis Bigliani, an international leader in the field of shoulder surgery.

On being awarded the fellowship, Dr Young said “The Lucy Falkiner scholarship will allow me to spend time at Columbia University gaining exposure to the latest advances in shoulder and elbow surgery, critically important to my training and future career.”
