Our fellows are exposed to a wide variety of clinical, surgical and research opportunities, as well as exposure to sports team coverage and training room experiences. Our fellowship faculty maintain active clinical practices focusing on the care of the elite and recreational athlete. Our faculty are team physicians for the Minnesota Twins (MLB), Minnesota Wild (NHL), Minnesota Whitecaps (NWHL), University of Minnesota Gopher Athletics, and Gustavus Adolphus College. We are also highly involved in local and regional amateur and professional events. Research is also an important pillar of the program. Our faculty are conducting research projects and scholarly work, as we believe they are fundamental pieces in training of the next generation orthopedic surgeons.
Graduating fellows represent the full spectrum of orthopedic practice, from full-time academicians to private practice clinicians. A number serve as team physicians for high school, collegiate, and professional sports teams. Finally, many of our former fellows have leadership roles in our professional societies and serve as Residency and Fellowship program directors.
