PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A University of Florida trauma fellowship with pelvis, acetabulum, complex fracture, reconstruction, teaching and research exposure. Current UF and OTA sources disagree on whether the intake is one or two positions; compensation level, licence and fellowship-specific visa terms remain unpublished.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
UF GME publishes health, dental, vision, life and disability coverage, 15 vacation days, 10 sick days, six-week GME leave, meal support, parking and retirement options. The trauma programme also publishes attendance at the OTA annual meeting, a pelvic course and the OTA Fellows Course.
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

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 live UF page continues to state one fellow per year, while the current OTA list publishes two positions. The counts are retained as a conflict. UF's historical case table is labelled by year and is not presented as current annual volume.
