A Fellowship in Orthopedics is an advanced, intensive training program designed for physicians seeking specialized expertise beyond their general orthopedic residency. Fellows typically focus on a subspecialty such as sports medicine, spine surgery, joint replacement, pediatric orthopedics, or trauma surgery.

Throughout the fellowship, participants work closely with experienced mentors and faculty, gaining hands-on experience in complex surgical procedures, patient management, and research. This immersive training environment helps fellows refine their surgical skills, develop deep knowledge in their chosen field, and become leaders in orthopedic medicine.

Fellowship programs usually last between one to two years, depending on the subspecialty and institution. Some programs also offer opportunities for research and academic contributions, enabling fellows to publish studies and present their work at national conferences.

Upon completion, graduates are well-prepared to provide specialized care for patients with complex orthopedic conditions, contribute to advancements in research, and mentor the next generation of orthopedic surgeons.
