Education:
Emory University and Grady Memorial Hospital’s long-standing dedication to trainee education makes this Ortho Trauma fellowship an ideal learning environment for fellows, and allows the fellow to teach residents and medical students.
Investigation:
The orthopaedic trauma division has multiple clinical research staff on-site, and an affiliation with a biomechanics research laboratory, multiple basic science labs, Emory/Rollin’s School of Public Health and Georgia Institute of Technology School of Bioengineering for fellow engagement as interest dictates.

Fellowship Rotation
There will be alternating two-month rotations on each Ortho Trauma Team. The Team designation determines which clinic options are open to the fellow, and the fellow will be allowed to choose which OR provides the most educational benefit on any given day. The fellows will assign themselves to one of the Trauma OR Rooms: HOT1, HOT2, COLD, COMPLEX or Hand/Arthroplasty/Sports as their interest dictates. There are also outpatient cases to choose from on a daily basis that are mainly covered by APPs. The core fellowship faculty will aid in deciding which OR to be in initially to promote the best educational environment for the fellows.
