Dr. Clive Duncan completed his medical training in Dublin, his orthopaedic training in the UK, Canada and the U.S., and he joined the Department of Orthopaedics at the University of British Columbia in 1977. He served as Professor and Head of the Department of Orthopaedics at the University of British Columbia, and Head of the Department of Orthopaedics at Vancouver General and University Hospitals from 1996 to 2006.

The focus of his clinical interest has been the development and evaluation of complex surgical techniques for the management of major joints damaged by injury, infection and disease; especially the hip. He has an international reputation as a surgeon, teacher and investigator. He has been invited as a visiting professor and guest lecturer on over 200 occasions at centres around the world where he has delivered over 400 lectures. He has published more than 200 scholarly works in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks and has been credited with a number of innovative surgical solutions.

He served as President of the Canadian Orthopaedic Association in 2001/02 and worked with that Association to pave the way for intervener status in the Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in the Chaoulli case, recently decided. He is also a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Orthopaedic Association, the Hip Society and the International Hip Society.

He was one of the principal applicants in the recently successful application for CFI (Canadian Foundation for Innovation) funds to establish the world’s first Centre for Hip Health in Vancouver; an enterprise now destined to become a $26 million VCHRI/UBC enterprise located at the Vancouver General Hospital site.
