Mr Shahid Khan

I gained an honours degree in law from Cambridge University. I then studied medicine at Oxford University, again obtaining my honours degree. On completing my junior doctor training, I went back to Cambridge University to study for my surgical exams and to teach anatomy to the undergraduates. I embarked on a career in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, completing my basic surgical training and higher orthopaedic surgical training on the well regarded Bristol program. During this time I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, and later passed a specialist orthopaedic fellowship (FRCS (Tr & Orth). I completed three years of specialist training in spinal surgery after completing my fellowship exams in trauma and orthopaedics at the Royal College of Surgeons. I worked as a Spinal Fellow in a specialist spinal units in Birmingham and Cardiff in the UK, and then at specialist spinal centres in the United States, including the world renowned spinal deformity centres in San Diego, California and Miami, Florida. I commenced as a full time spinal consultant at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, Exeter in 2007. Although I have been fully trained in trauma and orthopaedics I now work purely as a spinal surgeon.
