Adult Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship
Guidelines for Applications
Our training program currently offers two one-year fellowship positions. One position is ACGME accredited and achieved this recognition in 2012. Due to the high clinical volume, increasing faculty and abundant educational opportunities, we expanded the program to include a second non-accredited position in 2018. Both positions are filled through the SF Match and treated with complete parity throughout the fellowship year. Leadership is provided by Dr. Moskal as the Department Chair, Dr. Coobs as the Program Director and Dr. Adrados as the Associate Program Director.
Carilion adheres to all local, state and federal employment laws and administers its employment practices in keeping with the following guidelines. Applicants are considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, national origin, veteran’s status, disability, sex or other protected categories except as a bona fide occupational qualification.
All required clinical education for entry into ACGME-accredited fellowship programs must be completed in a 5-year Orthopaedic Surgery ACGME-accredited residency program, an AOA-approved residency program, a program with ACGME International (ACGME-I) Advanced Specialty Accreditation or, in Canada, a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC)-accredited or College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC)-accredited residency program.
The fellowship program is participating in the Adult Hip and Knee/Tumor Fellowship San Francisco Match (SF Match).
