Applications are accepted for both orthopedic and podiatric
fellowships. The respective applications are below with
helpful links to the state medical board of Ohio. In
general, we prefer to commence the fellowship August 1st to
allow time to prepare for the board examination in July.
The fellowship attracts top candidates in the field and
remains one of the most well-regarded training programs of its
kind. Through clinical and research excellence, our program has
remained at the forefront of the subspecialty.
Fellowship Responsibilities
Approximately 1,500 foot and ankle surgical procedures are
performed annually, which provide the fellow an opportunity to
participate in every aspect of foot and ankle reconstruction.
Each fellow will benefit from both clinical rotations and
additional time for work on an approved clinical research
project. Prior to completing the fellowship, it is expected that
a minimum of one paper will be prepared for publication in a
peer reviewed journal. Surgical procedures of the week are
discussed at a weekly orthopedic conference. There is a monthly
journal club and research meeting for the foot and ankle staff.
Fellows will attend several national and local courses on Foot
and Ankle. While the fellows are not primarily responsible for
resident education, the fellows participate in helping to
fulfill our responsibility for resident education. Fellows
are involved with residency programs at Grant Hospital and The
Ohio State University Medical Center. Each fellow takes
call and is responsible for inpatient care and is allocated two
weeks of vacation during their one-year training. Vacation
may be taken in conjunction with specialty meetings and national
foot and ankle courses. Prior approval must be arranged with the
Program Director to ensure adequate OR and call coverage.
