BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
ATLS certification, multidisciplinary trauma education, advanced instrumentation and biomechanics, biostatistics and outcomes training, plus completion and presentation of a research project
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.
