Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery
The Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Clinical Fellowship Program is a one-year fellowship program, running from August 1 till July 31, which provides in-depth training for a wide spectrum of congenital and acquired musculoskeletal problems in children. The fellows will gain clinical and surgical competence in the management of complex spine disorders and deformities, bone and soft tissue tumors, skeletal dysplasia, trauma, sports related injuries, hand and upper extremity problems, neuromuscular disorders, as well as disorders of the hip and lower extremities. Additionally, there is vast opportunity for clinical fellows to participate in clinical and basic research if desired. Three fellowships are available.
The Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Clinical Fellowship Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. We are an academic institution affiliated with Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
