Introduction

The Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship involves a one-year experience of intensive post-residency training in disorders specifically related to the hand and elbow as well as problems involving microvascular reconstruction. The fellowship participates in the Hand Surgery Match. The goal for this fellowship is to provide orthopaedic, plastic or general surgeons the detailed knowledge, clinical skills, and experience required to undertake the practice of hand and upper extremity surgery. The emphasis of the fellowship is equally shared by clinical responsibilities and academic investigation into both clinical and basic science problems. Our interest is in training surgeons who will undertake some form of academic activity after they have finished their fellowship, thereby contributing to the knowledge base of this relatively young discipline.
