EPOS–POSNA Travelling Fellows 2025
The EPOS Travelling Fellowship is a fantastic exchange programme that’s organised in collaboration between the European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society (EPOS) (https://www.epos.org/) and the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) (https://posna.org/), and between EPOS and the Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ortopedia y Traumatologia Infantil (SLAOTI) (https://www.slaoti.org/). These travelling fellowships provide a unique opportunity for young paediatric orthopaedic surgeons to gain international exposure, exchange knowledge, and boost their professional profile. Right now, EPOS is accepting applications for next year’s fellowship that will take orthopaedic surgeons from Europe to spend two weeks with their fellow counter parts in North America. Host Darius Rad, a previous Travelling Fellow himself, has invited Inês Balacó, the EPOS Councillor who is leading the programme, and the 2025 Travelling Fellows Ali Seker and Marco Odorizzi to share their experience and provide a practical insight into what it’s like to be a travelling fellow. Tune in to this episode to find out what makes travelling fellowships such a special experience, the idea behind this cultural and scientific exchange programme, and how you can get involved. For more information about EPOS Travelling Fellowships, and to hear about the experience of previous fellows, visit: https://www.epos.org/education/resources-for-healthcare-professionals/travelling-fellowships.Our immense gratitude goes to all the hospitals, doctors, colleagues and teams behind the scenes of POSNA, SLAOTI and EPOS to make this programme possible.

Research in Paediatric Orthopaedics: From Initial Idea to Securing Funding
The mission of EPOS is to enhance the quality of care for children with orthopaedic conditions. Conducting scientific research plays an important part in this mission: to drive innovation, to find better and new ways to treat patients, and ultimately to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. In this special episode, host Darius Rad is joined by the members of the EPOS Scientific Committee to speak about the importance of scientific research and how to get a research project off the ground: from the initial motivation and idea all the way to getting a research project funded.

A look behind the scenes of the Journal of Children's Orthopaedics
The Journal of Children’s Orthopaedics, or JCO for short, is the open access scientific journal owned and produced by EPOS. With over 300,000 downloads in 2025 alone, the JCO has become a hugely important educational tool for paediatric orthopaedic surgeons around the world. EPOS Podcast host Darius Rad has invited the JCO's Chief Editors Shlomo Weintraub and Fritz Hefti, as well as the journal's Liaison Councillor Marta Salom, to give you a rare look behind the scenes of the JCO, from how it got started, all the way to the impact it has today. They discuss, among other things, the use of AI in publishing, APC waivers and support for developing countries. They also dig into two papers from the latest issue: a systematic review revealing that 1 in 7 children who experience orthopaedic trauma go on to develop PTSD, and a 10-year follow-up study on how femoral leg lengthening affects long-term muscle strength.

Together, they discuss the origins of EPOS, the evolution of its educational programme and BAT courses for upcoming paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, and the role EPOS plays in nurturing friendship and community among paediatric orthopaedic surgeons across Europe and beyond.
