With only three Canadians nominated, St. Joseph’s own Shrikant J. Chinchalkar has taken home a prestigious award recognizing his many contributions in the field of hand therapy. The International Federation of Society’s for Hand Therapy (IFSHT) Lifetime Achievement Award is granted to any person who excels globally, beyond what is normally expected in the field of hand therapy, recognizing the recipient’s “enormous contribution” and benefit to “countless patients”.
It’s no surprise this award was bestowed on Shrikant, one of the founders of the hand therapy program at St. Joseph’s Health Care London. A hand therapist at the Roth-McFarlane Hand & Upper Limb Centre for 26 years, Shrikant has more than 47 years of clinical experience treating upper extremity conditions and nearly 40 years of teaching up and coming hand therapists.
