Our program offers a wealth of organized didactic conferences. The fellow will participate in weekly indications conferences to discuss upcoming and recently completed difficult and challenging procedures to best understand the involved decision making. The fellow will participate in biweekly clinical research conferences and biweekly laboratory research conferences to best understand the research process. In addition, we have an existing program of biweekly conferences with structured didactics so that the fellow will graduate with knowledge of the latest literature and a strong foundation. Our fellowship also serves as the home for an international biannual meeting, the Advanced Shoulder ArthroPlasty (ASAP) Meeting at Snowbird, Utah, and Dr. Tashjian is one of the co-chairmen. The meeting provides the fellow an opportunity to network with world-renowned surgeons in the specialty as well as learning the latest evidence and techniques in arthroplasty.
In addition to these conferences, the fellow will have access to the Surgical Knowledge Integration (SKI) lab. This world-class facility has full-time dedicated staff, twelve surgical stations, and a wide range of surgical tools. Using the SKI lab, the fellow can practice open and arthroscopic procedures learned in the operating room to accelerate their education.
