PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-year Harvard-affiliated programme covering clinical consultation, advanced surgery, research, mentorship and professional development across Mass General and New England Baptist Hospital. The original Boston Shoulder Institute page adds the published case volume and supported international elective structure.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Programme-funded travel and living expenses for optional one-to-two-month international rotations at partner European centres, plus an optional Mayo Clinic elbow month, faculty mentorship, two research assistants and clinical and translational research support.
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.

Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Published fellowship history
Mass General says Jon J. P. Warner began the Harvard Shoulder & Elbow Fellowship in 1999. The Boston Shoulder Institute describes the programme as operating since 1998 and formally established for 2001–2002; these historical descriptions are retained transparently because the official pages use slightly different milestones.
