Fellowship Description
The Shoulder & Elbow fellowship at the Holy Cross Orthopedic Institute provides exposure to a high volume community-based employed physician practice exclusive to shoulder and elbow surgery. The Holy Cross Orthopedic Institute has been a regional leader in orthopedics and innovation for over 25 years. Each year, the shoulder and elbow fellow will participate in approximately 500 surgical procedures, with a high volume of primary and revision shoulder arthroplasty, advanced shoulder & elbow arthroscopy, open shoulder reconstruction, shoulder & elbow fracture management, elbow ligament repair/reconstruction, and elbow arthroplasty.
There are typically two surgical days and two and one half days of office hours. The office setting will prepare the fellow with the key diagnostic tools needed to evaluate and treat all aspects of shoulder and elbow pathology – including diagnostic and therapeutic in-office ultrasound. The experience in the office will give excellent exposure to critical aspects of practice management including proper documentation and coding skills.
Together with the research staff at the Holy Cross Research Institute, the fellow will be expected to participate in active clinical research. The fellow will be encouraged to complete at least two clinical research projects and take ER call at Holy Cross Hospital together with a physician assistant (typically 2-3 times per month).
