Goals and characteristics

Our fellowship is designed to provide exposure to a large volume and a variety of reconstructive and traumatic surgical problems
in the shoulder and the elbow as well as teaching and research opportunities for individuals interested in pursuing an academic career. 

The fellowship includes several rotations on different orthopedic surgery services.  Our faculty includes six full-time faculty members with
different practice profiles, including open and arthroscopic reconstructive shoulder procedures, open and arthroscopic reconstructive elbow
procedures, sport-related injuries and acute shoulder and elbow trauma.  We provide a balanced exposure to both shoulder and elbow
problems and adjust the rotation schedule for each fellow based on their anticipated needs and previous background and training.

The Fellow participates actively in preoperative consultations, surgical procedures and postoperative management.  In addition, the Fellow has
access to additional training through teaching conferences and journal clubs, on-site courses and our anatomy laboratory.  Research is a
prominent part of our program, enhanced by our carefully monitored patient registries and close cooperation with the basic science laboratories,
 division of statistics and medical illustrators.

Our positions are available beginning August 1^st.  Interviews are conducted between Labor Day and late November.  Positions will be offered after
the ASES Match is complete.  For further information contact Dr. Joaquin Sanchez-Sotelo at the address listed above.
