Research fellows are integral to the operation of all facets of our program. Our goal is to provide the fellow with opportunities to strengthening his/her application for orthopaedic residency, to expose the fellow to academic orthopedics, and to teach research skills that can be used to foster an academic career. The fellow will be directly involved in all facets of the research process including, development of study questions, literature review, study design, IRB approvals, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, writing of manuscripts, and preparation of presentations. Our previous fellows have been very productive and receive funding to attend national and international meetings to present their research. The Shoulder and Elbow division is comprised of nine fellowship-trained, academically motivated surgeons. Fellows will spend substantial time in both the outpatient clinic and operating room setting. Fellows additionally have the opportunity to attend weekly didactic conferences and to interact routinely with residents and clinical fellows. The position is funded.

If you have any additional questions regarding the fellowship, please contact our current fellow Ocean Thakar (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
