PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-year clinical foot-and-ankle fellowship with three positions, high-volume operative and clinic training, graduated autonomy and two expected research projects. The programme page is current, but its published salary figure is explicitly tied to the 2024–2025 academic year.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Three weeks of vacation, a USD 2,000 educational-conference allowance and a separately described annual resident/fellow stipend; current amounts should be confirmed with the programme
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.
