Location: St. Louis, MO USA
Funded: Yes
Summary: The fellow will be an active participant in the clinic where they will develop an understanding of the diagnosis of nerve injuries and observe the results of surgical interventions. They will also have a role in evaluating the patients in the pre-operative and post-operative period. The fellow will participate in operative nerve releases and reconstructions under the guidance and mentorship of faculty. The development of microsurgical skills will be fostered through microsurgical training in the laboratory and then implemented for patients in the clinical setting. The fellow will also spend valuable time with the neurologists learning the basics of electrodiagnostic studies, as well as with nerve specialized hand therapists, to understand the perioperative treatment of nerve disorders.
Our faculty will be closely involved in your training, while giving you the opportunity to gain confidence and independence. You will participate not only as a trainee, but also as a teacher, working closely with plastic surgery residents and medical students.
