INTERNATIONAL APPLICANT CHECK
What the official evidence currently supports
Decision-critical fields are separated into confirmed facts, partial information and points requiring direct confirmation.
≈Partially published
International applicant eligibility
The OTA list's instruction for international medical graduates to contact the programme is an enquiry route, not an acceptance statement. This fellowship specifically requires an accredited United States orthopaedic residency for Minnesota licence eligibility, so an Indonesian specialist qualification alone does not meet the published pathway.
✓Published by official source
Required training level
Graduation from an accredited United States orthopaedic surgery residency for Minnesota licence eligibility · Good standing with OTA/SF Match requirements · Current OTA indicators direct Canadian and international medical graduates to contact the programme
✓Published by official source

Clinical or combined training pathway; exact duties remain appointment-specific.
?Confirm directly with host
Hands-on restrictions
Hands-on participation and operative restrictions are not explicitly published.
≈Partially published
Medical registration
Eligibility for a Minnesota medical licence is required; the programme states that this pathway requires graduation from an accredited US residency, together with Hennepin credentialing.
?Confirm directly with host
Licensing examinations
Any examination requirement must be confirmed with the relevant regulator and host.

Language requirements
No formal language requirement is published by the cited source.
≈Partially published
Visa or work authorisation
Hennepin's institutional GME policy does not generally accept H-1B-dependent residents or fellows, apart from rare GMEC/DIO-approved circumstances. The orthopaedic trauma fellowship publishes no separate sponsorship commitment, and its United States residency and Minnesota licence requirements remain controlling.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-position Hennepin orthopaedic trauma fellowship with a ten-person full-time faculty group, Level I exposure and substantial research support. International applicants may enquire, but the published accredited-US-residency and Minnesota-licence rules mean Indonesian specialist training alone is insufficient.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Research staff, biomechanics and bioskills laboratories, clinical-research support, funded research opportunities, resident teaching, weekly conferences and the OTA fellows course
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.

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.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Published fellowship history
OTA's CONTACT indicator is retained as a route for questions, not interpreted as IMG acceptance. Hennepin's general GME policy allows some international graduates to meet institutional minimums but explicitly permits stricter specialty requirements; this fellowship's accredited-US-residency rule therefore controls.

INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS
Published international eligibility information
The OTA list's instruction for international medical graduates to contact the programme is an enquiry route, not an acceptance statement. This fellowship specifically requires an accredited United States orthopaedic residency for Minnesota licence eligibility, so an Indonesian specialist qualification alone does not meet the published pathway.
This note is shown only when the official source publishes information relevant to overseas applicants. Applicants should confirm licensing and visa eligibility directly with the host.
