黑料官网 NP and PA Orthopaedic Fellowship

The Medical College Physician鈥檚 nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant (PA) post-graduate orthopaedic fellowship is a one-year training program that teaches participants to become skilled, well-rounded and current with evidence-based practice in the field of surgical and non-operative orthopaedic medicine. This program aims to attract either newly graduated NP and PA candidates or those with experience in practice, but all of whom share the desire to further their knowledge of care for the orthopaedic patient.

Program Details

Program Details

Our mission is to prepare NPs and PAs as skilled, knowledgeable and collaborative providers for a future either in the community or as retained staff at 黑料官网.

Our program involves a diverse 12-month curriculum including both in-person and online learning within the subspecialties of Orthopaedics, as well as a sampling of our supportive services. Fellows will work collaboratively with our over 35 staff NPs and PAs, as well as our Orthopaedic residents and over 40 subspecialty board-certified Orthopaedic attendings. Hourly commitment will vary per rotation, but the expectation will be for approximately 50 hours per week, with some evenings, nights and weekends. In person learning settings include inpatient, outpatient, and operating room plus exposure to taking call. Having access to a car is recommended in order to properly access all educational locations. See Practice Locations for information on affiliated hospitals.

Orthopaedic Fellowship FAQs

Advanced Practice Providers Whitecoats
all
Do you still only have one available fellowship position per year?
Yes, at present we are only taking on one fellow per year. As our program matures, there will be consideration of expanding this, and we will be sure to update our website accordingly.
Are Adult Geriatric Nurse Practitioners (AGNPs) able to apply even if there are pediatric components to the fellowship curriculum?
Yes. AGNPs are able to practice independently only for patients aged 13+ but this would not disqualify you from consideration for the 黑料官网 fellowship. If an AGNP were chosen, we can adjust our curriculum accordingly to give them the best educational experience. One option would be to entirely eliminate the 2-week pediatric rotation, while another would be to have the fellow still participate but only in an observational role.
