Fellowships

Fondren Orthopedic Fellowships

At Fondren Orthopedic Group, we are pleased to offer a variety of fellowships to provide comprehensive training in the fundamentals of orthopedic care. Our ultimate goal is to provide the fellow with an opportunity to train in an efficient high-volume practice that is also a collegial and nurturing environment. We view the fellow as a junior partner, rather than as a trainee, which ultimately allows them the freedom to only worry about their arthroplasty education during this valuable year.

 

Overview

We are pleased to offer a comprehensive fellowship in all facets of adult reconstructive surgery. The goal of the program is to provide extensive training in the fundamentals of adult reconstruction, from primary hip and knee procedures to complex arthroplasty, including revisions, periprosthetic fractures and periprosthetic joint infections.

Every aspect of the fellowship will be focused on education. The fellow will participate in all aspects of patient care, including pre-operative counseling and planning, surgical intervention, inpatient management and post-operative care in the office setting. A monthly conference will provide the fellow with a longitudinal educational program throughout the year. Additionally, research is highly encouraged and ample time, facilities and personnel are available to ensure successful project completion.

This fellowship participates in the SFMatch program. No international fellowship opportunities are available at this time.
