The Asia fellowship was established in 1992.The exchange program for junior physicians and scientists builds on historic affiliations between the German and Asian medical communities and represents an alternative to the more USA-focused sport medical education exchange programs. Four GOTS-fellows are selected every alternate year. In accordance  with the size of the GOTS member-countries, two fellows from Germany, one from Austria and one from Switzerland are entitled to travel to Asia. The young physicians have the opportunity to increase their specialty knowledge in Japan and South Korea, to gather new scientific and cultural impressions and to develop contacts with the authorities on sports orthopaedics topics of these countries. In the alternate year, four highly scientifically qualified colleagues from Japan and Korea travel to Germany, Switzerland and Austria as part of the return visit.

For the promotion of the sports orthopaedic exchange in Europe, the GOTS-fellowship program was expanded in 1998.The DJO-Fellowship provides the opportunity to visit the leading sport scientific institutes and hospitals in Italy and Poland on a biannual basis and to get an idea of the working methods of these colleagues. Our fellows have the chance to present the activities and achievements of the GOTS in the field of sports medicine for the member countries.

The fellowship programs are the basis for long lasting contacts and an international network. The group of former fellows has grown to a considerable size inside the  international community. In the mean time, many of the former fellows occupy decisive positions in medicine, science or professional associations.
