A year of operative and clinical experience
Fellows gain significant operative and clinical experience, thanks to considerable time in the operating room and clinics with faculty, residents and advance practice providers throughout the year. Each team has a weekly conference, where attendees participate in case review, research discussion, and collaboration. Funded subspecialty courses, visiting professor lectures, cadaveric labs, and mentorship opportunities augment the hands-on and didactic experience.
Backed by coordinators, statisticians and editors
Fellows are encouraged to pursue research during their training year with support from the Campbell Clinic Foundation, including clinical research coordinators, library and editorial services, and statistical support. This allows fellows to study important aspects of orthopaedic research and collaborate with national centers and subspecialty experts. From retrospective record reviews to prospective, randomized clinical trials, fellows engage in myriad musculoskeletal studies and innovations.
