Goals and Characteristics
This fellowship is designed to fulfill all the needs of an individual who wishes to practice shoulder surgery in either a private practice or academic setting. There are ample opportunities for clinical experience and for research depending upon the needs of the individual. Our graduates have few problems obtaining jobs after this fellowship.
The fellow will be involved in a wide variety of experiences meant to provide them with the experience necessary to go into practice prepared. The fellow will be involved in clinic with the staff surgeons but will also have their own clinic one half day each week. The fellow will have exposure to clinical problems from the mundane to the complex. The surgical experience includes the whole gamut of shoulder surgery from arthroscopic procedures to open procedures. The surgical cases include instability, rotator cuff, arthritis and a myriad of other conditions. Primary and revision procedures are performed including reverse prosthesis, tendon transfers and bone block procedures for instability. The fellow will have the opportunity to evaluate the patients preoperatively, contribute to their surgery and see them postoperatively.
The fellowship also has a weekly didactic program on shoulder topics. The fellow will interact with students, non-operating residents from other programs and orthopaedic residents. The fellow should be interested in teaching, both, in the clinic and the operating room. Each fellow is required to perform one research project which should be submitted prior to the end of the fellowship. Involvement in other projects and publications is encouraged. There is opportunity to be involved in covering athletic events if desired. The fellow is encouraged to participate in outreach speaking engagements and in learning practical skills for practice, such as billing and documentation skills.
This program participates in the ASES Fellow selection process. Interviews will be performed from Labor Day to December 13. Positions will be offered beginning in mid-December.
Requirements:
Must be eligible for Maryland State Licensure; if foreign medical graduate must have two years clinical training in the United States per Maryland regulations.
