Program Description
The goal of the Spine Surgery Fellowship is to provide board eligible graduates of orthopedic surgery residency training programs with clinical and research experience in preparation for an academic or private practice career in spine surgery.
The fellowship is sponsored by the Department of Orthopedics, with one or two spine fellow(s) participating in the program each year. Your clinical experience during the fellowship will include opportunities to evaluate and manage patients on both an inpatient and outpatient basis under the direction of spine surgeons.
The fellowship includes broad exposure to various types of spine problems involving all anatomic regions of the spine. The fellow will assume progressive responsibility in the assessment, preoperative evaluation, surgical care, postoperative management, rehabilitation and follow-up evaluation of patients. The fellowship will be one year in duration but may potentially be extended to two years depending upon your research interests.
Program History
The Spine Surgery Fellowship began in 1993, and since that time, 14 physicians have completed training. It is anticipated that one or two fellows will complete training in this program annually.
