Trauma Fellowship Program

• Develop clinical expertise in the diagnosis and management of complex and multisystem orthopaedic trauma
• Refine clinical skills so new problems can be addressed based on pathophysiologic and patient-oriented information, allowing an appropriate treatment plan to be applied
• Attain technical and surgical expertise in complex orthopedic trauma, to all orthopaedic body parts
• Gain exposure to research, including clinical reviews, clinical outcome studies and basic science research

These goals are fulfilled through multiple educational methods, including both patient care and conferences.

Clinical care includes experience in offices of the attendings, as well as a fellow-directed clinic and operating room coverage. New patients are followed from diagnosis through the selection of treatment plans, preoperative planning, operative intervention and post-operative management. Outpatient clinic time allows you to observe the recovery process and long-term results after surgical procedures.

The didactic portion of education includes faculty lectures during a weekly trauma conference, resident core conference, fellow-specific lecture series and guest lectureships.

Socratic conferences include preoperative conferences, case presentations at the Trauma Conference, one-on-one discussions and interchanges during rounds, and direct evaluation of patients in the office.

We also provide a formal research experience.
