    Hand & Upper Extremity Surgical Fellowship

     

    The department offers two ACGME-accredited fellowship positions in orthopedic hand and upper extremity surgery. The goals of the fellowship are to provide: (1) comprehensive training for the management of upper extremity conditions (hand, wrist, elbow) including evaluation, surgery, and rehabilitation; (2) a structured, interactive educational curriculum that includes weekly hand conference reviewing core hand surgery knowledge, weekly indications conference, twice-monthly anatomy and surgical skills labs, monthly journal club and research meetings; (3) opportunities for the advancement of our field through basic scientific and clinical research; (4) long-term mentorship and collegiality for our growing fellowship alumni.

    The clinical strengths of our fellowship program are elevated by a diverse and experienced faculty that prioritizes education while providing the highest quality care to our patients. Our fellowship experience includes outstanding exposure to general hand surgery conditions, congenital / pediatric hand surgery, brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries, microsurgical limb reconstruction, acute upper limb trauma and the reconstruction of post-traumatic conditions, arthroscopy, sports injuries, and the reconstruction of arthritic conditions.

    The structure of the fellowship emphasizes a mentorship model with two, 3-month rotations that are repeated to promote a graduated learning and responsibility experience over the academic year.

    Duration: This is a one-year, post-graduate experience from August 1 - July 31.

    Application Deadline: December 31
