Fellowship Program

What is a fellowship?

Many orthopedic surgeons elect to do further training, or fellowships, after completing their medical education and residency training.
Fellowship training in an orthopedic subspecialty is typically one year in duration and sometimes has a research component combined with clinical and operative training. During this period, the physician is referred to as a “fellow.”

In most cases, choosing a fellowship-trained physician means you can be assured he or she is highly skilled and up-to-date with cutting edge treatments and surgical techniques.

Training the next generation.

Most of our physicians at Tuckahoe Orthopaedics are fellowship-trained. Our practice is pleased to play a role in training future generations of orthopedic surgeons. We work closely with Orthopaedic Research of Virginia to sponsor a one year, accredited fellowship in Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine for residency-trained orthopedic surgeons.
