PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-position Phoenix fellowship offering broad acute trauma and post-traumatic reconstruction, substantial pelvis-acetabulum exposure and four-to-five operating days weekly. Current sources publish volume and contacts but not compensation or a route for international medical graduates.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Four-to-five operating days weekly, first choice of cases as the service's only fellow, resident teaching and clinical-research opportunities
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.

Qualifications
Not published on the cited profile
Niloofar Dehghan is listed in the cited programme evidence as programme director for The CORE Institute Banner Health Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Orthopaedic trauma, pelvis-acetabulum and post-traumatic reconstruction. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
Niloofar Dehghan is listed by the official programme source as programme director. A separate individual short CV has not yet been verified by OrthoFellow.
Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
