PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A two-position Indianapolis fellowship centred on polytrauma, complex fractures, critical-care judgment and graduated supervised autonomy. Current evidence publishes training volume and contact but excludes IMG and Canadian applicants and does not state compensation.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Supervised graduated responsibility, six senior trauma surgeons, evidence-based fracture decision-making, critical-care planning and optional geriatric-fracture exposure
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.
HOST INSTITUTION
About OrthoIndy Trauma / Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis
Official sources publish two fellows, six full-time trauma faculty, Level I setting, annual case volumes, clinical goals, director and direct coordinator.
Gregory Dikos is listed in the cited programme evidence as programme director for OrthoIndy Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship. The verified individual profile describes a focus in Orthopaedic trauma and complex fracture care. This association does not by itself confirm personal supervision, operative privileges or availability for a future intake.
Gregory Dikos 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.
