Fellowship/Residency Education

Orthopaedic Traumatology Fellowship

The Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship is a twelve month program designed for board eligible orthopaedic surgeons, after their residency training. The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in treating and managing complex polytrauma patients. Experience will be gained working in conjunction with a multitude of highly trained Orthopaedic specialists at University Medical Center, Southern Nevada's ACS verified Level I Trauma Center. Besides trauma, emphasis can be placed on subspecialties such as foot and ankle, upper extremity, spine, and pelvic reconstruction. Outpatient adult and pediatric Orthopaedic clinics are established for patient follow up and new patients. Research and publication in any related field of interest is expected. On average, the fellow will be on Trauma call every third twenty-four hour shift. The clinical aspect of this fellowship will be an intense learning experience with a high volume of complex polyorthopaedic injuries. An extensive exposure to clinical and surgical cases will ensure a solid educational experience. Successful completion of this fellowship will result in Certification from the University of Nevada, School of Medicine.
