There would be no clinical responsibilities, but the fellow is encouraged to attend conferences and Grand Rounds in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. The fellow would be allowed to participate in projects in all divisions of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Activities would include research planning and design, data collection and analysis, and manuscript preparation. For the self-directed, motivated individual, this can be a very productive year. In addition to improving your research skills in an academic environment, the goal of the program is to have the fellow, with full-time research experience and strong letters of recommendation, successfully match into an Orthopaedic Surgery Residency position.
The deadline for applications is March 16, 2009. We encourage you to apply earlier than this date. If you do match into an Orthopaedic Surgery Residency, it is understood that you will no longer be interested in this position. However, in the event that you do not match, you may contact us immediately to notify us of your interest in this opportunity. This position is also available to highly qualified medical students who wish to pursue a year of clinical research between their 3rd and 4th years of medical school.
To
apply, fax or email your CV and a brief statement of interest to:
Shelley Hampton, Research Coordinator, University Orthopaedic Research
and Education Foundation, fax 513-558-2220 or email
We wish you success in this year's match!
Sincerely,
Toan Le, MD
Assistant Professor
University of Cincinnati
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
