COMMON QUESTIONS

Paediatric Orthopaedic fellowships in North America: FAQs

How many paediatric orthopaedic fellowships are there in North America?

OrthoFellow currently lists 77 paediatric orthopaedic pathways in North America at 72 institutions, across 5 countries. Counts reflect verified listings, not every programme that exists.

Which North American countries have the most paediatric orthopaedic fellowships?

The largest North American destinations in this directory are United States (57), Canada (16), Costa Rica (1) and Dominican Republic (1).

How do you apply for a paediatric orthopaedic fellowship in North America?

There is no single North American application system. The United States runs subspecialty matches through societies and SF Match, Canadian fellowships are usually applied for with each university programme, and Mexican and Caribbean programmes are applied for with the host hospital or university. Check each country directory for its own route.

Can international surgeons do a paediatric orthopaedic fellowship in North America?

Sometimes, but hands-on clinical work requires licensure or a training permit in the host country and, in the United States and Canada, usually specific residency credentials. Observerships and research posts can have lighter requirements. Confirm the permitted role, registration and visa with each host.
