PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A comprehensive one-year fellowship with two positions, broad clinical and operative responsibility, weekly didactics and a required research project. The official Johns Hopkins page lists the current deadline, start date, faculty and direct division contact.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Employee benefits are included; educational support includes weekly shoulder teaching, research resources, optional athletic-event coverage, outreach speaking opportunities and practice-management teaching.
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.
