Work With Us

Fellowship Opportunities, Research and Education

The surgeons and team at The Hand Surgery Clinics are committed to excellence in Patient Care, Education and Research in Hand and Microvascular surgery.

In keeping with our vision and educational mission, we offer fellowships of 3 months to 1 year duration to orthopaedic, or plastic surgeons who wish to gain greater expertise in hand and upper-extremity surgery.

Our goal is to provide comprehensive training in all aspects of the art and science of hand surgery. This includes instilling a fundamental understanding of the physiology, bio-mechanics, examination, diagnosis, planning, non-operative management, and surgical management that allow hand function and form to be optimally repaired and reconstructed. We wish our fellows to be leaders and competent hand surgeons; who will constantly strive to continue to grow, as lifelong learners. Our vision is that our fellows will improve healthcare delivery, thereby improving patients’ lives, and also advance hand surgery through research, and by training the next generation of hand surgeons.

We believe that we are successful only if our pupils ultimately become far better than their teachers. It is only in this way that each generation can further advance the discipline of hand surgery.

Responsibilities Of A Fellow

CLINICS

We conduct daily out-patient clinics. Fellows will see patients in the clinic with the staff and formulate a treatment plan. The faculty then evaluates the patient and the fellow’s treatment plan.

SURGERY

Fellows will assist the attending staff in surgery at different hospitals.

CALL

Fellows will take primary call. The clinical call duties of the Hand Surgery Clinics physicians include 24-hour coverage of Jehangir Hospital, Oyster and Pearl Hospital, and Sancheti Institute for Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation.

TEACHING

Besides didactic lectures and seminars by the staff, fellows are expected to participate in making formal presentations, as well as journal clubs, and case presentations. 1 year fellows will be expected to submit at least one scientific paper  to a peer-reviewed journal.

Prospective fellows may write to us with a statement of purpose, current CV and three letters of recommendation. You may submit an application at any time. After we receive your application, we’ll contact you to set up an interview.
