PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-position Las Vegas Level I trauma and post-traumatic reconstruction fellowship led by Erik Kubiak, with five full-time OTA faculty and daily teaching alongside UNLV residents and students. Karen Nelson is the published coordinator, not an interim programme director.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Academic mentoring, resident and medical-student teaching and exposure to advanced artificial-intelligence and robotics applications in orthopaedic trauma
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
Erik N. Kubiak is listed in the cited programme evidence as programme director in the current ota directory for Las Vegas Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Orthopaedic trauma, adult reconstruction and technology-enabled care. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
Erik N. Kubiak is listed by the official programme source as programme director in the current ota directory. 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.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Published fellowship history
The current OTA Fellows at a Glance directory now identifies Erik Kubiak as programme director. The older RSVP material listed Karen Goldman as the Las Vegas coordinator; it did not establish her as interim director. The prior leadership conflict is therefore corrected.
