Hand surgery fellowship

The Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery offers a 1 year hand surgery fellowship, one of only a few hand surgery fellowships in the country that truly integrates both Orthopedic and Plastic Surgery approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of upper extremity problems. Fellows have an in-depth exposure to common hand surgery procedures with additional emphasis on complex hand/wrist reconstruction, microsurgery and pediatric hand surgery under the supervision of upper extremity surgeons in both Plastic Surgery and Orthopaedics. In addition, we also provide a wealth of exposure to treatment of all aspects of upper extremity pathology, including elbow and shoulder arthroscopy and arthroplasty.

Gender surgery fellowship

The Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery offers a 1 year fellowship in Advanced Gender Surgery. The fellow will be exposed to the full breadth of gender surgery with a focus on facial and genital gender affirming surgery. The fellowship is unique in that our trainees will also spend significant amount of time with our Urology colleagues and work in close collaboration with the Reconstructive Urology fellow. Our fellows are also exposed to the full multi-disciplinary aspect of gender affirming care through interactions and clinical exposure to: primary care, endocrinology, voice and speech, adolescent endocrinology, gynecology, mental health, social work and if desired fertility counseling and treatment. Participation in programmatic building and community engagement is desired; as well as involvement in monthly multi-disciplinary care discussions.
