During my 2-year Master's Course in Orthopaedic Engineering at Cardiff School of Engineering, Cardiff, UK (http://www.engin.cf.ac.uk/teaching/postgrad/orthoppt/index.html), I was introduced to the basic engineering principles (in relation to materials, experimentation, mechanical engineering theory, computing allied to medicine, mechanisms of injury and biology of bone and soft tissue, and surgical applications), which are relevant to the musculoskeletal system.

    3. I have trained in Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Technology for 2 years at the University of Dundee, UK (http://www.dundee.ac.uk/prospectus/distlearning2001/courseprofiles/P54-55.htm), which is one of the foremost Rehabilitation Research and Training Centre in the world.
