Varun SharmaMD, FRCSC
I grew up in Ottawa and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto. I completed medical school and Orthopaedic Surgery residency at Queen’s University in Kingston Ontario. I’ve played soccer and squash since I was young at various competitive levels. This is my first fellowship and I have an interest in research related to ACL reconstruction and cartilage restoration. My fiancee and I enjoy playing soccer, running, travelling, cooking and reading. I’m excited to work with the whole UTOSM team!
Upon completion of my fellowship, I will be joining a mid-size private practice in central Illinois doing sports, upper extremity, primary total joint arthroplasty and on call trauma.
I have no doubt the skills and experience learnt during this fellowship will be invaluable in practice.
