In the July 2006 - June 2007 Academic Year, we began offering a one year junior level orthopaedic trauma fellowship position. This position is outside our residency program and the fellow is an employee of the hospital. No residency training credit will accrue. It involves clinical activities similar in scope to that of a junior level orthopaedic resident on a trauma service with some opportunity for clinical research. The fellows spend 8 months on the fracture service at St. Johnâs Mercy Medical Center, a level 1 trauma center affiliated with our program, and 4 months on the Orthopaedic Trauma Service at Saint Louis University Hospital. The experience is intended to significantly improve the CV of a prospective applicant for orthopaedic surgery residency training without utilizing GME PGY financial eligibility. This program has proven successful for a number of our fellows. Anyone interested in this type of position, you should contact me via the e-mail address listed below, including an updated CV, which includes your performance (raw score, not percentile) on all steps of the USMLE. If a recently completed ERAS application is available, this should be sent along, either via e-mail or Fax (314-268-5121). We will begin offering interviews and positions immediately following the release of this yearâs match results.
