Thank you for taking interest in the Hand Fellowship Program.
We have two twelve-month, RRC-accredited fellowship positions
available every August 1. The next available fellowship is in
August of 2009. Completion of an approved orthopaedic, plastic
or general surgery residency training program is required.
The program is well-balanced between congenital problems, arthritis, trauma, and microsurgery. We do have a large volume of peripheral nerve injuries at the hospital, both acute and late injuries. The replantation service is moderately busy with about two to three cases a month. A pediatric upper extremity clinic is held weekly at Carrie Tingley’s. There is a microsurgery research laboratory with a full-time technician and three microscopes available at all times during the week for practice, teaching and research. Free flaps are also covered during the fellowship. The Orthopaedic Service does its own flaps. In addition, we have an active biomechanics research laboratory headed by Keikhosrow Firoozbakhsh, who has a PhD in Biomechanical Engineering.
