Fellowships

The Department of Orthopaedics has 13 fellows in seven different subspecialties each year. Every specialty focuses on both didactic and clinical education through weekly conferences, full department Grand Rounds, and busy clinical practices. The fellowships provide intensive focus for 1 year on the further development of subspecialty Orthopaedics. All of our programs start on August 1^st and finish the following July.

In addition to working closely with nationally recognized faculty and gaining experience with the latest in orthopaedics, fellows are an integral part of our education program. Fellows are closely tied to our residency program and are key contributors to our resident education efforts. Fellows are not only here to learn, but also to teach. In addition, they have an opportunity to join our robust research program. An immense infrastructure exists for basic science, biomechanical, and clinical research projects.
