Harvard Shoulder (One Year Fellowship) is currently accepting applications for a start date of August 2008. A total of three Fellows will be chosen. The application can be found on the ASES website, www.ases-assn.org, under the Fellowship link. We also require the following:
- three letters of recommendation,
- your current CV, and
- a statement about why shoulder and elbow surgery is of 'personal interest' to you.
This fellowship will be organized into three rotations: MGH (with Dr. Warner at Massachusetts General Hospital ), BWH (with Dr. Higgins at Brigham Women's and Massachusett's General Hospital ), MGH (with Drs. Jesse Jupiter, Tom Holovacs/research period) and requires the applicant to acquire a Full Massachusetts State Medical License in advance (see www.massmedboard.org for guidelines). This will enable you to serve as a junior faculty member so that you can run your own clinic, treat patients, and perform surgery on clinic patients. You will also observe and assist Drs. Warner, Higgins, Holovacs and Jupiter in their surgeries. During their clinics, you will also see patients. You also have the opportunity to do research here as well, depending on what projects we have currently underway and what projects interest you. There may be an opportunity for a short trip to France to spend time with Drs. Gilles Walch and Laurent LaFosse as well.
Both your CV and 'letter' can be sent to me by email and I will print them for Dr. Warner and forward them to Drs. Higgins, Holovacs and Jupiter. I will contact you when we receive all your letters of recommendation. Please note, we cannot move forward with your application until all three letters of recommendation have been received. All recommendation letters must be originals, on letterhead, addressed to Dr. Warner at the address below and to my attention. To expedite a decision on your application, you may also fax your letters (617) 724-3846 to my attention, but we must have the originals on file at time of interview.
The deadline for applications will be October 2, 2006. As applications arrive, Drs. Warner and Higgins will select some candidates for interview. Those not chosen will be notified as soon as possible, giving them ample time to move forward with other fellowship choices. The interview process and final decision will be completed in early December. Applicants must provide a telephone number at which they may be reached.
Thank you for your interest in our Fellowship and we look forward to hearing from you. (check out our websites at www.shoulderfellow.com and www.bostonshoulder.com
