Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) MSK Radiology Fellowship 20232024
Good morning.
We will soon be accepting and reviewing applications for the 2023-2024 HSS musculoskeletal fellowship class. We will be sending invitations for virtual interviews in the upcoming weeks.
Please take a look at our fellowship website (under “Fellowship Education”): [link=https://www.hss.edu/radiology-imaging.asp]https://www.hss.edu/radiology-imaging.asp[/link]
Some of the highlights of our fellowship include:– Overall happiness of our fellows (please read the commentary from our previous fellows on the above website; also, note the anonymous 2020-2021 fellow evaluations below, which will soon be updated on our website)
1) “The fellowship has been a great experience all in all – the dedication to doing quality teaching despite the pandemic has been phenomenal and all around this has been some of the best education I have received during my medical training.”
2) “Very well rounded fellowship going above and beyond to prioritize fellow education above service. Excellent 1-on-1 readout sessions with attendings. Good balance of MSK MRI and procedures with absence of scut work. Amazing fellow-friendly work environment with very accommodating program director and collegial attendings.”
3) “Outstanding training with an excellent focus on wellness while also balancing clinical experience with teaching and research opportunities.”
4) “Overall this fellowship has been superb training and a wonderful experience. The prioritization of fellow education is unique. The cases are complex and diverse, with no end of opportunities for learning. Attendings have incredible expertise and are willing to go out of their way to teach.”
5) “This was the most educational year of my life to date. I really enjoyed the fellowship and the friends and mentors I’ve made along the way. I highly recommend this fellowship to anyone who asks me about it. I have nothing negative to say when people ask what I disliked most.”
