PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
Brown's one-year sports-medicine fellowship publishes its training scope, PGY-linked salary framework, benefits and annual dates. Its visible application dates are historical, so the next intake remains confirmation-required.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Health and dental insurance, two weeks of formal vacation, supported academic meeting attendance and interview flexibility.
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.
