He completed medical school and orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Saskatchewan, followed by adult reconstruction fellowship training at Stanford University. His clinical and research interests include arthritis, joint replacement, revision surgery, avascular necrosis, minimally invasive surgery, hip resurfacing, and direct anterior hip arthroplasty.

  • Hip and Knee Replacement: Surgical care for patients considering hip or knee replacement for arthritis or joint disease.
  • Hip Resurfacing: Hip-preserving surgical option.
  • Lower-Extremity Arthroplasty: Fellowship-informed focus on adult reconstruction and joint replacement surgery.

Throughout his career, Dr. Jason has held numerous leadership roles, including Site Chief of Surgery at both the Health Resource Centre and Rockyview General Hospital, Program Director for the University of Calgary Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program, and currently serves as Senior Medical Director of the Bone & Joint Health Strategic Clinical Network for Alberta Health Services.
