PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-year ASES-accredited clinical fellowship covering open and arthroscopic shoulder and elbow surgery, advanced reconstruction, research and resident teaching. The official host page confirms two positions and publishes named faculty and direct coordinator contacts.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
High-volume exposure exceeding 600 cases per fellow, attending-led bioskills laboratories, weekly research support from coordinators and students, structured conferences and opportunities to present at national shoulder-and-elbow meetings. Salary and employee benefits are not itemised on the official programme page.
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.
