DATA QUALITY & AVAILABILITY
66% of core application fields verified

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
OHSU publishes a one-year, one-position ACGME fellowship integrating orthopaedic and plastic surgery, complex reconstruction, microsurgery, nerve, paediatric and shoulder-elbow exposure. Its recurring application timetable is not tied to a cycle year, so current availability remains confirmation-required.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Formal microsurgery curriculum, twice-monthly cadaveric skills laboratories, conferences, teaching, research access and a two-month private-practice rotation without call.
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.
