Goals and Characteristics
The fellow will have the
benefit of studying among four high volume shoulder and elbow practices. Six
months will be spent in Cleveland and six months in Akron. The fellow will study
nonoperative and operative management of a wide variety of shoulder and elbow
disorders, including athletic, degenerative, traumatic and neurologic
pathologies. Surgical techniques will cover the spectrum of shoulder and elbow
procedures, from arthroscopy to advance reconstruction and open treatment of
fractures. Approximately 1600 shoulder and elbow cases are performed during the
academic year. Besides receiving an outstanding clinical experience, the fellow
will be required to participate in at least two publishable research projects.
Resident education will be emphasized, and the fellow will be required to
participate in the teaching of each institution’s residents during the academic
year. This will include staffing the resident shoulder and elbow clinic. The
fellowship will participate in the ASES match.
