INTERNATIONAL APPLICANT CHECK
Can an international surgeon apply?
≈Partially published
International applicants
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.

Clinical role
Clinical or combined training pathway; exact duties remain appointment-specific. Hands-on participation and operative restrictions are not explicitly published.
—Not 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.
—Not published
Language
No formal language requirement is published by the cited source.

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.
