Introduction

The Spine Fellowship at Brown University School of Medicine involves a one year experience of intensive post-residency training in disorders and injuries of the spine in the adult patient. The fellowship combines a diverse and active operative and clinical schedule with the opportunity for clinical research. While working with two full time adult orthopaedic spine surgeons, the Fellow will gain extensive exposure to all aspects of the field. With a reasonable call schedule and an active operating room experience, the Fellow will be expected to participate in resident education, didactic conferences and research. Our interest is in training surgeons who will undertake either a career in private practice or in academics.
