PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A two-position, one-year Sunnybrook fellowship integrating major lower-extremity trauma, pelvis and acetabulum, reconstruction and arthroplasty. The official page publishes rotations, call, research and a coordinator, but no dated next intake or open application cycle.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Two six-month supervisor rotations, primary-surgeon or first-assistant responsibility, research and teaching, with in-house call usually one night in four and sometimes one in five
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.
