Program Description

Introduction

The UCSF Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Fellowship is designed to provide the fellow with a comprehensive and well-rounded training in all aspects of pediatric orthopaedics. Our mission is to train fellows to be clinically and technically competent and well-prepared for providing outstanding care to all pediatric patients. This fellowship is based on an adult-learning model and offers an in-depth experience in all subspecialty areas of pediatric orthopaedic surgery with a spectrum of complexity, including pediatric trauma, spinal deformity, pediatric sports, hip and limb deformity.

Primary training sites include UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland which is a level 1 pediatric trauma center, and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in San Francisco. Both sites being major referral centers for Central and Northern California.

In the second half of the training period, fellows have the option to pursue a 4 week overseas elective in Global Orthopaedics. If interested, they can also pursue a clinical elective at the UC Davis/Northern California Shriner’s Hospital for Children for additional experience in the Motion Analysis Laboratory and pediatric hand surgery. In addition to exceptional clinical training, fellows are given access to UCSF’s rich research infrastructure, teach our medical students and residents, and participate in UCSF’s extensive global health initiatives
