Richard Carey Smith is listed in the cited programme evidence as fellowship supervisor; medical director, pluslife for Revision Arthroplasty and Complex Limb Reconstruction PlusLife Allograft Fellowship. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Orthopaedic oncology, complex limb reconstruction, primary and revision arthroplasty, osseointegration and allograft surgery. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
Professor Carey Smith's official profile identifies him as PlusLife Medical Director and clinical lead for the Western Australian State Sarcoma Service. It lists his University of WA and Perth Bone and Tissue Bank oncology/adult-reconstruction fellowship as one year.
Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
