What this program offers
A one-position Ohio State shoulder-and-elbow fellowship starting 1 August 2028, with published interview dates, leave, reimbursement, full application checklist and six named faculty. ACGME-I graduates may qualify, while IMG licensing and J-1 or limited H-1B rules remain explicit.

Three weeks of paid vacation, one week of paid professional-conference leave and conference reimbursement, alongside the published 2025–2026 PGY-6 or PGY-7 institutional salary scale
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.
