Developing Tomorrow’s Hand Surgeons
The Orthopedic Hand Surgery Fellowship provides fellows with an intellectually stimulating and challenging clinical, surgical and research environment to develop orthopedic hand surgeons who are prepared and qualified to enter any practice setting.
Fellows work hand in hand with fellowship-trained, board-certified hand, orthopedic sports and plastic surgeons from Baptist Health Orthopaedic Care on the assessment and treatment of inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, pre-and-post-operative exams and consultations, trauma cases and rehabilitation.
Fellows will be active in the operating room performing a robust number of procedures, averaging 700 surgical cases every year. Most procedures take place at the state-of-the-art Baptist Health Surgery Center – Coral Gables.
