This fellowship offers unique opportunities to the aspiring shoulder surgeon. Emphasis is divided between clinical patient care and research investigation. The preferred applicant will spend twelve months in a clinically-oriented program working on the services of Drs. Iannotti, Brems, Ricchetti & Evans, whose practice involves pathology and surgery of the shoulder. Time will also be spent with Dr. Mark Schickendantz, one of our sports medicine shoulder specialists.
The Shoulder Fellow will be given the responsibilities of an associate staff member and will manage his/her own clinical practice with teaching oversight provided by the fellowship faculty. Additionally, we offer the opportunity and encourage the Fellow to spend a second year in the laboratories involved in basic science or clinical investigation, though a second year is not required.
Although several funded projects related to the shoulder and upper extremity will be available to the Fellow, the applicant is encouraged to initiate a project of his/her own design. Lastly, we view teaching as a foundational requirement of our Fellow. The transfer of orthopaedic knowledge and skills to our resident staff is one of our most important missions. The Shoulder Fellow will be actively involved in our resident education programs both didactically and clinically.
This program is part of the ASES Fellow selection process. Interviews will be conducted in November and the selection will be made through the National Shoulder & Elbow match process.
This fellowship participates in the Match program.
