ACGME permits a programme to consider an exceptionally qualified international graduate outside the standard residency pathways only through the published exception: programme and selection-committee evaluation, GMEC approval, ECFMG certification and an early Clinical Competency Committee review.

Application route / cycleThe host page publishes a 6 February 2027 interview but labels the pathway as the AOFAS match, which conflicts with the sports-medicine programme context; confirm the correct portal with the programme and SF Match.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
Rochester's one-year ACGME fellowship covers elbow, shoulder and knee sports medicine. A future February 2027 interview is published, but the host page unexpectedly labels the route AOFAS; the application portal therefore remains a documented conflict rather than an inferred SF Match fact.
Intended for: Orthopaedic surgeons applying for US orthopaedic sports-medicine fellowship training
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Malpractice coverage, four weeks of vacation, six weeks of paid qualifying medical, parental or caregiver leave, and health, disability and life coverage.
HOST INSTITUTION
About University of Rochester Medical Center
Rochester publishes a one-year ACGME programme, prerequisite residency and board status, a future interview date and institution-wide PGY-6 stipend and benefit details, but its application-route label is internally inconsistent.
