Participation levelClinical participation and hands-on restrictions must be confirmed directly with the host.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANT CHECK
Can an international surgeon apply?
≈Partially published
International applicants
The current OTA Match evidence marks international medical graduates NO, so an Indonesian specialist qualification alone is not eligible for the active pathway. Kentucky's host page repeats older permanent-resident or H-1B wording beside a January 2022 interview date; that wording is retained as historical rather than treated as current eligibility.

Clinical role
Clinical or combined training pathway; exact duties remain appointment-specific. Hands-on participation and operative restrictions are not explicitly published.
≈Partially published
Medical registration
A Kentucky medical licence is required.

Language
No formal language requirement is published by the cited source.

Visa or work authorisation
Kentucky GME sponsors physician trainees on J-1 visas and considers H-1B only in rare, pre-approved circumstances. Those institution-wide mechanisms do not override the current OTA programme indicator that this trauma fellowship does not accept international medical graduates.

What this program offers
A two-position Kentucky trauma fellowship with five attending physicians, complex-trauma exposure and a Kentucky-licence requirement. The active OTA pathway does not accept international medical graduates; older host wording is visibly tied to a 2022 cycle.
Intended for: Orthopaedic surgery graduates seeking advanced trauma or fracture training; the OTA graduate-acceptance columns and host-specific criteria apply

HOST INSTITUTION
About UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital / University of Kentucky College of Medicine
Kentucky publishes two positions, five attending physicians, a Kentucky licence requirement and direct contact. The current OTA Match supplies the controlling IMG-NO indicator; the host's foreign-graduate sentence remains tied to visibly historical January 2022 application copy.
