Description
|
The Hand & Upper Extremity Fellowship Program is ACGME accredited. The one-year fellowship offers extensive exposure to pathologies and disorders involving the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder in children and adults. The fellow will gain a broad experience in operative and nonoperative management in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin and at two affiliated private practices in Milwaukee.
The fellow will be an integral part of the upper extremity service at a large academic center working closely with the Division’s faculty, residents, and students. While in the community, the fellow will work on a one-to-one basis with the private practice faculty. The fellow will be expected to successfully complete a 40-hour microsurgical course at the Medical College of Wisconsin, attend all hand and upper extremity conferences, and facilitate the bimonthly Journal Club. The fellow will be required to complete a research paper of publishable quality in basic and/or clinical research. Upon successful completion of the fellowship program, the fellow will be qualified to sit for the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Hand Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) exam.
