This fellowship is an educational opportunity to learn more about amputee management including pre-amputation consults, acute care consults post-amputation, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation. An outpatient fellow clinic will be developed. The fellow will be expected to attend family meetings, make clinical decisions regarding prosthetic care with team members, deal with both standard prosthesis as well as the state of art advances in amputee care. Fellows will also be engaged in medical residents and medical students teaching.
