Medical Professionals: SRS Fellowship

Classes of Fellowship in the Scoliosis Research Society include Candidate, Active, Associate, and Emeritus.

Candidate Fellowship - Open to orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and to non-physician members of allied specialties (such as research scientists). Physician applicants must be willing to commit to a clinical practice which includes at least 20% spinal deformity. Physicians and non-physicians must be committed to research in the field of scoliosis and related spinal deformities. Candidate Fellows stay in that category for five years, during which time they must demonstrate their interest in spinal deformity and in the goals of the Scoliosis Research Society. Those who complete all requirements are eligible to apply for Active Fellowship in the Society.

Associate Fellowship – For distinguished members of the medical profession including allied health professionals who have made a significant contribution to scoliosis or related spinal deformities, but do not wish to assume the full responsibilities of Active Fellowship. Associate Fellows pay reduced membership dues but are not eligible to vote, hold an SRS office or apply for Active Fellowship.

The Scoliosis Research Society provides information on these web pages regarding research and links as a public service. The SRS believes that patients should contact their treating physician about the relevance of any information listed on the site prior to proceeding with any particular treatment. Just as no two individuals are exactly alike, no two patients with a spinal deformity are the same. Therefore, your spinal deformity surgeon will be the most important source of information about the management of your particular spinal problem.
