PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A current one-year, one-position Louisville post-Match fellowship with more than 500 cases, structured academic work and covered AOFAS-meeting travel. The official AOFAS profile publishes strict Kentucky licensing and international visa constraints but no salary or fixed closing date.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
More than 500 cases, tertiary-referral exposure, optional private-practice rotation, weekly foot-and-ankle meetings, journal clubs, research meetings, cadaver labs, industry events and covered AOFAS-meeting travel
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
