Introduction

The Pediatric Fellowship involves a one year experience of intensive post-residency training in disorders and injuries specifically related to young children. This fellowship combines a diverse and active operative and clinical schedule with a unique opportunity for basic science and clinical research. While working with the three full time pediatric orhopaedic surgeons on staff, the Fellow will gain wide exposure to all aspects of the field. With a reasonable call schedule and very active operating room experience, the Fellow will be expected to participate in resident education, conferences, and research.

The goal of this fellowship is to produce a well-rounded, academic, pediatric orthopaedic surgeon with a broad knowledge of patient evaluation, decision making, preoperative planning, operative technique, postoperative care, and research. This fellowship is intended for someone with academic aspirations.
