DATA QUALITY & AVAILABILITY

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A twelve-month Phoenix fellowship covering trauma, reconstruction, congenital hand, microsurgery and peripheral nerve surgery. The current host names nine faculty; its two-position complement and accreditation status come from a 2023 official facts sheet and are therefore labelled historical.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Flexible multidisciplinary training with Banner, Phoenix Children's, Mayo Clinic Phoenix, Dignity Health and community hand services
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.
