Due to unforeseen circumstances Regions Hospital/University of Minnesota is seeking a qualified candidate to fill 1 Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship position for the 2014-2015 academic years.
The Regions Hospital/University of Minnesota Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship experience includes exposure to a Level I Trauma setting and the University of Minnesota medical system. The program hospital, Regions Hospital in St. Paul, admits over 18,000 patients and performs over 12,000 surgical procedures per year. The catchment for high energy or complex trauma, as well as referred tertiary care extends broadly to four surrounding states.
The fellows work directly with seven fulltime orthopaedic trauma faculty, covering clinical and research domains including surgery of the pelvis and acetabulum, foot & ankle and upper extremity, post-traumatic joint reconstruction, correction of malunion, treatment of bone infection, management of the multiply-injured patient, and specific programs in pediatric and geriatric orthopaedic trauma. The fellow will work with the Orthopaedic residents and staff as an integral part of the trauma service.
Successful completion of the fellowship includes the execution of two publishable manuscripts. To accomplish these goals, the fellow will have access to the University of Minnesota Biomechanics Laboratory and the Regions Hospital Trauma Research Center. These labs feature state-of-the art resources. We also have a dedicated Clinical Research Team based at Regions Hospital who is available to help with the administration and operation of all research. Clinical research activities are highlighted.
Qualified candidates are current PGY5 orthopaedic residents in an accredited US or Canadian orthopaedic residency program and available to obtain a Minnesota medical license.
