R. A. (Renee) Bosboom van Stralen

My name is Renée van Stralen and I have been working at the Sophia Children’s hospital since September 2018. Both my clinical and my research interests lie in the field of neuromuscular pediatric orthopaedics.

I graduated from medical school at the University of Amsterdam in 2008. In 2009, I worked at the Sint Maartenskliniek in Nijmegen as an unaccredited registrar (ANIOS). After this year, I started my orthopaedic training with two years of basic surgical training at ziekenhuis de Gelderse Vallei in Ede. The rest of my orthopaedic training took place at the sint Maartenskliniek, RadboudUMC and Rijnstate hospital in Arnhem. Following my training I did a clinical fellowship in pediatric orthopaedic surgery specializing in neuromuscular orthopaedic surgery and pediatric spine surgery at the Royal Children’s hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

After returning from Melbourne I did a second fellowship in pediatric orthopaedic surgery at the Sophia Children’s hospital from September 2018 – March 2019. Since then, I have been working as a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon specializing in cerebral palsy and neuromuscular orthopaedics.

As a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, I provide clinical training for medical students, medical interns and registrars in orthopaedic surgery at the Erasmus MC University Medical Centre.

I am currently working on the development of the national CP registry.
