This fellowship program offers a one-year rotation.  The curriculum provides a well-rounded exposure to the clinical management of orthopaedic foot and ankle patients and an opportunity to perform basic science and clinical research.

The Division of Foot and Ankle Surgery performs approximately 12 surgical procedures each week.  Exposure to a broad spectrum of orthopaedic foot and ankle disorders is provided.  Fellows participate in the preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative management of patients.  The Division provides coverage to the Level I trauma center.  Fellows also gain broad experience in the nonoperative treatment of foot and ankle disorders using advanced pedorthic, orthotic, and prosthetic techniques.

Regularly scheduled lectures, journal club, foot conferences, and anatomy dissection sessions are included.  Fellows are expected to participate in relevant research, and projects in conjunction with the orthopaedic biomechanics laboratory and gait laboratory are encouraged.  By the end of the fellowship, completion of two papers of publishable quality is required.

Successful completion of an approved residency in orthopaedic surgery and eligibility for a Wisconsin state medical license are prerequisites for this fellowship.
