| Goals
and Characteristics |
 |
| This fellowship
is a clinically-based training experience designed to mature the
diagnosis, decision-making, and technical skills of a trained orthopaedic
surgeon seeking special proficiency in hip and knee replacement
surgery. The applicant is expected to have achieved a high degree
of technical proficiency in hip and knee replacement surgery following
completion of his/her residency, which will be further enhanced
by an intensive operative experience in a high volume private practice
environment. This Fellow will also supervise a weekly joint replacement
conference with two local affiliated orthopaedic residency training
programs. |
 |
| The research
portion of the Texas Hip & Knee Center Fellowship Program is
also clinically-based. During the course of the year, the Fellow
is expected to complete two clinical projects suitable for publication
in a peer review journal. The Fellow will have the opportunity to
participate in multiple ongoing clinical research projects and will
have access to an extensive computer-based clinical data bank. |
 |
| The evolving
business aspects of developing and managing a joint replacement
practice will be incorporated as part of the curriculum of the one-year
fellowship program. The applicant must be Board-eligible or certified
and obtain a Texas state medical license. |
