Research Fellowship Program: Orthopedic Surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital

The Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital is offering two, one-year-long clinical research awards for medical school students interested in pursuing a career in orthopedic surgery. We aim to mentor medical students as they progress to an orthopedic surgery residency program and beyond.  

Orthopedic residency selection has become increasingly competitive and medical students are eager to pursue opportunities that expose them to the field while building their resumes. Medical students interested in orthopedics are highly motivated and can be very productive in research endeavors if given the opportunity. This research fellowship will also offer exposure to clinical care in the ambulatory and surgical setting, and we are open to supporting travel to a regional conference for first author abstracts and/or manuscripts (up to $2,000).  

Details, Eligibility and Application: 

• Applicants should be planning to take a year off between their 3^rd and 4^th year of medical school. 
• Applicants must be in good academic standing and have an interest in pursuing a career in orthopedic surgery.  
• Eligible students can apply by filling out the application here by 10/31/2024 and submit supporting documents. Supporting documents include:  

• Your resume 
• Two letters of recommendation 
• Please specify if you are applying to the Orthopedic Research Fellowship or the Female Athlete Program Fellowship in your cover letter.
