Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Fellowship

The Stanford University Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Fellowship is a one-year, POSNA-accredited program providing a comprehensive experience in pediatric orthopaedics. Our departmental mission is to foster independent, confident, caring surgeons, and enable them to achieve their career goals, through a collegial and supportive environment.

Fellows work with eleven pediatric orthopaedic surgeons and have the opportunity to operate at four hospitals – principally the newly-renovated Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, a level-one trauma pediatric hospital, in addition to Stanford Hospital, John Muir Medical Center, and the Stanford Outpatient Surgical Center. The fellow will therefore be exposed to all aspects of pediatric orthopaedic surgery. Spinal deformity, sports medicine, hip preservation and DDH, neuromuscular disorders, congenital disease, and fractures comprise much of the experience and fellows average well over 300 cases during the course of the year. The fellow will be prepared for a career in academic orthopaedics at any major university or children's hospital, as well as for independent practice.
