DATA QUALITY & AVAILABILITY
72% of core application fields verified

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-year, one-position Utah fellowship with more than 500 expected shoulder and elbow operations, VA autonomy, structured laboratory and conference teaching, and clinical and basic-science research. The programme and ASES publish different November deadline wording, so that conflict remains visible.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
PGY-6-equivalent salary plus institutional benefits, weekly indications and research conferences, structured didactics, Surgical Knowledge Integration laboratory access and broad clinical, trauma and research experience
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.
