After completing his training and becoming a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) and a Fellow of the Australian Orthopaedic Association (FAOrthA), he completed international fellowships in Japan and the United Kingdom. In Tokyo, he was trained by the illustrious past Japanese Society Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) President, Professor Satoru Ozeki, where he became experienced in ankle reconstruction techniques, foot and ankle arthroscopy procedures, foot corrective osteotomy techniques and ankle preservation procedures. Whilst here, he also gained experience in knee alignment and replacement.

He then completed a fellowship in Bristol under the tutelage of well renowned foot and ankle surgeons, three of which were past British Foot and Ankle Society (BOFA) Presidents. Here Janan became proficient in arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques for the whole gamut of foot and ankle conditions. While working in this major center for ankle arthroplasty, Janan became familiar with Total Ankle Replacements by working with high volume arthroplasty surgeon, Mr Stephen Hepple. As part of his British fellowship training, he achieved his Postgraduate Diploma (MIPDEd) in Orthopaedic surgery.
