Successful completion of the fellowship includes the execution of two publishable manuscripts relevant to geriatric orthopaedics and trauma care.  To accomplish these goals, the fellow will have access to the University of Minnesota Medical Library and the Regions Hospital Trauma Research Center.  We also have a dedicated Clinical Research Team based at Regions Hospital who is available to help with the administration and operation of all research.
