The Mayo Clinic Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine invite senior medical students to apply for a one-year clinical research fellowship position starting in April-June 2016.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a highly-motivated individual to strengthen their application for the Orthopedic Residency Match. The research fellow will be expected to work on numerous projects with several investigators; therefore, excellent organizational and communication skills are paramount. Duties include project design, Institutional Review Board applications, scientific literature search, data collection, progress updates, and manuscript preparation.
You will have the opportunity to work with four board-certified Sports Medicine orthopedic surgeons. Our previous fellows have been prolific, with typically 10-15 accepted or published manuscripts, and numerous abstracts and podiums accepted for presentation at national/international meetings during the year.
All 8 previous fellows have successfully matched in residency programs, and we are confident that our current fellow will match this year as well.
If you have any additional questions regarding the fellowship, please contact our current fellow Ayoosh Pareek (

To apply, email your CV, two letters of recommendation, personal statement, picture, USMLE scores, clinical grades, and a very brief statement of interest to our current fellow Ayoosh Pareek.
Sincerely,
