Adult Reconstruction Fellowship

Hospital for Special Surgery is proud to continue an over century’s old tradition of postgraduate training programs including our Orthopaedic Surgery Residency program.

A clinical fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery requires the USMLE exams, and positions for American residents are filled as part of the match program. International surgeons are encouraged to apply directly to the fellowship director.

International Medical Students

If you are interested in a short term rotation with Dr. Boettner to learn more about Total Hip and Knee Replacement surgery please contact our office. We usually allow one medical student to “Shadow” Dr. Boettner. This is an ideal experience to get to know the US medical system and observe Dr. Boettner in the office as well as during surgeries.

International and Visiting Surgeons

The Hospital for Special Surgery has a visitor program that encourages short term visits to the Hospital. If you are interested to spend time with Dr. Boetter to learn more about his techniques in Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement please contact our office. Please be advised that the hospital reinforces a “No patient contact” rule for all visitors.
