Goals and characteristics
This
fellowship is a one-year program that will provide an excellent
experience in the clinical, surgical and rehabilitative
management of routine and complex shoulder conditions and
pathologies. A comprehensive exposure to modern shoulder
surgical procedures is emphasized with extensive training in
shoulder arthroplasty, arthroscopy, revision surgery and open
reconstructive procedures. Clinical experience is coordinated
with the fellowship director’s busy private practice. Each
fellow is expected to participate in clinical research and other
educational projects under the direction and supervision of the
shoulder service and to complete at least one clinical research
project, submitted in publishable form, during the fellowship
year.
Candidates must be board eligible and have a Georgia state
medical license at the time that the fellowship begins. This
program is a part of the ASES fellow selection process. The
ASES universal application must be completed, along with a copy
of the applicant’s curriculum vitae, a personal statement and
medical school transcripts. Interviews are conducted between
Labor Day and November 30th. Positions will be
offered per the ASES match in December.
