This is a one year fellowship with the arthroplasty surgeons at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.  It is a comprehensive fellowship focusing on the surgical management of arthritis, osteonecrosis, and cartilage lesions in the hip and knee. Training involves all current arthroplasty techniques including minimally invasive and computer assisted surgery. There is significant complex primary and revision experience.

This is a hands-on operative fellowship, although research is required.  There is the opportunity for clinical research with our extensive total joint database.  Particular areas of interest include osteonecrosis and outcomes after primary and revision arthroplasty.  One peer-reviewed publication is necessary for successful completion of the program.

The fellowship is based out of the Good Samaritan Hospital and fellows also operate at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.  Fellows are involved with resident training. There are two conferences a week, an indications conference, and a fellows conference with weekly reading based on classic articles as well as The Adult Hip and The Adult Knee.  These texts will be provided.

There is also the opportunity to participate in courses and research at The Zimmer Institute Learning Center at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.

Applicants must have completed an orthopaedic residency and must be board eligible.  A Maryland medical license will be necessary prior to commencing the fellowship. Fellows will receive a certificate from the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University.

Goals and Characteristics

This fellowship is designed to fulfill all the needs of an individual who wishes to practice shoulder surgery in either a private practice or academic setting.  There are ample opportunities for clinical experience and for research depending upon the needs of the individual. Our graduates have few problems obtaining jobs after this fellowship. 

The fellow will be involved in a wide variety of experiences meant to provide them with the experience necessary to go into practice prepared.  The fellow will be involved in clinic with the staff surgeons, but will also have their own clinic one half day each week.  The clinical experience involves exposure to clinical problems from the mundane to the complex. The surgical experience includes the whole gamut of shoulder surgery from arthroscopic procedures to open procedures.  The surgical cases include instability, rotator cuff,  arthritis and a myriad of other conditions.   Primary and revision procedures are performed including reverse prosthesis, tendon transfers and bone block procedures for instability.  The fellow will have the opportunity to evaluate the patients preoperatively,  contribute to their surgery and see them postoperatively. 

The fellowship also has a weekly didactic program on shoulder topics.

The fellow also will interact with students, non-operating residents from other programs and with orthopaedic residents.   The fellow should be interested in teaching in the clinic and the operating room. Each fellow is required to perform one research project which should be submitted prior to the end of the fellowship.  Involvement in other projects and publications is encouraged.  There is opportunity to be involved in covering athletic events if desired. The fellow is encouraged to participate in outreach speaking engagements and in learning practical skills for practice, such as billing and documentation skills.
This program participates in the ASES Fellow selection process.

Interviews will be performed from Labor Day to December 13.  Positions will be offered beginning in mid-December.
