The Center for Joint Preservation and
Replacement at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics in
Baltimore invites all interested and qualified individuals to apply for
a two-year orthopaedic research fellowship position with Michael Mont,
M.D., and Ronald Delanois, M.D. This is
a salaried position that will begin on or before July 1, 2009 and is
open to all candidates who will be medical school graduates by that
time.
It presents an opportunity to work with national
and international leaders in the areas of total joint replacement and
osteonecrosis, to assist with FDA trials of new drugs and devices, to
gather and analyze data, to attend and present your work at regional
and national conferences, and to prepare manuscripts for publication in
peer-reviewed journals. Previous fellows have published multiple
PubMed-listed articles and have presented at the annual AAOS meetings
during their fellowships. This is an excellent way to improve your CV
and increase your chance of matching with an orthopaedic residency.
Almost all of the previous fellows, including IMGs, have successfully
entered U.S. orthopaedic residency programs.
