What you'll do

Clinical Experience

As part of the research fellowship, we recognize the importance of understanding relevant clinical questions. Therefore, the fellow will spend at one-half day per week in clinics or operating rooms on a rotating observership basis which will allow the fellow to engage with faculty, residents and other students while exploring additional research questions. Scholars will also be invited to participate in weekly didactic conferences including grand rounds, indication conferences and journal clubs. The success of the research fellow is important to our faculty, and the fellow will participate in a formal mentor/mentee relationship with designated faculty.

Research Experience

The WVU Orthopaedic Research Scholar opportunity is a funded one-year fellowship that will start after the match process completes and applications are reviewed. The start date is flexible, but fellows are encouraged to participate as soon as possible based on the graduation requirements at their home institution. The research fellowship is based on the tremendous success we have seen with our categorical match research track in which residents have presented at national and international conferences, published over 30 manuscripts over the last five years and gone on to successful careers in orthopaedic surgery. Our department has clinical research personnel to assist with data collection, IRB submission and manuscript preparation. Clinical faculty and departmental statisticians will assist with the completion of projects and presentation and publication of the work. The goal is to provide a complete research experience that improves the fellow's understanding of translational research.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree required and have completed the third year of medical school at an accredited program. Applicants considering a career in orthopaedic surgery are preferred.
  • Completion of core clinical clerkships (e.g. current third-year or fourth-year medical student or medical school graduate) is expected.
  • All qualifications must be met by the time of employment.
