This fellowship offers an extensive experience in the surgical and nonsurgical management of disorders of the shoulder and elbow under the supervision of four full-time faculty members whose practice is limited to the shoulder and elbow.

This extensive clinical volume guarantees exposure to a wide variety of traumatic, degenerative, and athletic injuries. The fellowship experience includes training in the most advanced arthroscopic and open reconstructive surgeries of the shoulder and elbow. Research, both clinical and basic science, is an integral part of the fellowship experience. The basic science research is conducted through the McKay Laboratory for Orhtopaedic Research under the direction of Louis Soslowsky, PhD. The research team includes a full-time staff of postdoctoral research Fellows, pre-doctoral bioengineering students, and two orthopaedic research residents. The clinical research program is directed by Alexis Greenhut and includes the active participation of the Fellows, residents, physician assistants, and therapists involved with the Shoulder and Elbow Service. The Fellow is expected to participate in clinical research projects and the preparation of scientific publications.
