Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowships in North America

OrthoFellow currently lists 115 orthopaedic trauma pathways in North America at 112 institutions, across 3 countries. Counts reflect verified listings, not every programme that exists.

The largest North American destinations in this directory are United States (92), Canada (19) and Mexico (3).

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.

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.
