MSc 1999
INDUCTED: 2006
Dr. Mohit Bhandari's research in collaborative randomized trials has set worldwide benchmarks in the field of orthopedics, particularly in regard to musculoskeletal trauma. Dr. Bhandari is regarded as the foremost authority in the translation of orthopedic research to clinical practice (evidence-based orthopedics). He has had an enormously positive impact on orthopedic surgery research in a very short period of time.
A University of Toronto graduate of Medicine, Dr. Bhandari completed both his orthopedic and Master's of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics training at McMaster in 1999. To broaden his clinical trauma exposure, he trained with world experts in Los Angeles and Minneapolis.
Dr. Bhandari's clinical interests include the management of patients with complex lower extremity fractures and fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum. He holds a Canada Research Chair in Musculoskeletal Trauma and Surgical Outcomes, the only chair of its kind in Canada. He has published more than 180 peer-reviewed papers and given over 70 presentations and lectures in Hamilton and internationally, leading to worldwide recognition. He has also obtained a large number of peer review grants from prominent peer review agencies, receiving 4 million dollars in research funding in the past 5 years.
Recognition for his achievements has included the Edouard J. Samson Award for a Canadian orthopedic surgeon with the greatest impact on research in the last 5 years, the Founder's Medal for Research and Randomized trial Mentoring Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
Dr. Bhandari is an outstanding young researcher who has established himself as a world leader in evidence based orthopedics. He is an orthopedic surgeon at Hamilton Health Sciences-General Hospital and Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery in the Department of Surgery at McMaster.
