The Hand Center includes a training program for future hand surgeons. Each year, four physicians spend 12 months learning hand surgery in this Center. Each fellow is a fully trained orthopaedic or plastic surgeon who has completed 5 to 7 years of surgical training after graduation from medical school and has chosen to spend an additional year in training to study hand surgery. Competition for these fellowships is very intense, and The Hand Center is fortunate to be able to select only the most highly qualified candidates.

The hand fellows are an important part of our patient care team and you will get to know them while you are being treated in the Hand Center. Although some of your care will be rendered by the fellows, this will be, at all times, under the direct supervision of our attending surgeons.

Several of our graduates have gone on to academic jobs where they are engaged in teaching their own orthopaedic and plastic surgery residents. We are very proud of all our alumni, and we consider them part of our hand surgery family.
