Dr. Adam WatsonMD

Dr Adam Watson grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He graduated from his medical studies at the University of Tasmania with First Class Honours in 2005. He completed his Orthopaedic Surgery Training program in Victoria, Australia in January 2015, with placements in both regional and metropolitan centers. Dr Watson completed a 12 month Shoulder and Upper Limb fellowship in Geelong, Victoria, under the guidance of Professor Richard Page. This included comprehensive arthroscopic and open treatment of a broad range of shoulder and elbow conditions. Following this he completed a 6 month Trauma and Arthroplasty fellowship in Geelong, prior to coming to Canada. In Toronto, Adam has completed a Sports and Arthroscopy fellowship, focusing on the knee and shoulder. He has gained skills to treat complex and multiple ligament knee injuries and further enhanced his arthroscopic treatments of complicated shoulder pathology. Adam is keenly interested in enhancing the training of surgeons. He has completed his Masters in Surgical Education, whilst working in Toronto. His thesis aims to create a peer-reviewed list of Entrustable Professional Activities for Orthopaedic training. This will enhance the development of curriculum for surgical training. His other research involves the scapular involvement in rotator cuff repairs and a randomized controlled trial into fixation of hip fractures. Adam and his wife Jane are keen adventurers. They spend their weekends mountain biking, trail running and cycling through the Canadian wilderness. In Winter they love skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. They will return to Hobart, Tasmania, where Adam will focus on the arthroscopic and arthroplasty treatment of complex knee and shoulder problems.
