Meet the Faculty
The Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, includes a group of more than 45 surgical, research, and clinical consultants. Our physicians work in an integrated and cooperative group practice that cares for more than 80,000 patients annually. This department consistently maintains an excellent reputation in the orthopedic community and in consumer ratings.
Orthopedic surgeons at Mayo Clinic have expertise in all areas of orthopedics. Many physicians within the department hold joint appointments in radiology, plastic surgery, infectious diseases, oncology, neurologic surgery and pathology.
On a regular basis, Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeons collaborate with specialists in adult reconstruction, pediatrics, sports, trauma, spine, foot, hand, shoulder, elbow, oncology and impairment evaluation.
Faculty
One of the greatest advantages to training at Mayo Clinic is the approachability, accessibility, and collegiality of the faculty.
In addition to caring for patients in their clinical practices, Mayo Clinic's faculty members are committed to teaching and facilitating the growth of medical knowledge. Many of our faculty members have published and lectured extensively and are highly regarded in their fields. You will have direct access to the orthopedic surgery faculty at Mayo Clinic throughout the Adult Lower Extremity Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship.

Advisors and mentors
On each rotation, you will be assigned to a faculty member's service. This faculty member will serve as your mentor and faculty advisor. They can provide comprehensive educational advice, personal support, and can introduce you and your family to Rochester and the Mayo Clinic system. One of the unique aspects of the Mayo Clinic Adult Reconstruction fellowship is the exposure to leaders in the field of hip and knee reconstruction. A number of past Orthopedic Society presidents and current society leaders are part of our faculty. A leadership curriculum has been designed in order to expose the fellows to leadership training opportunities.
Visiting professors
Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year. They present their work during lectures and participate in hospital rounds. As a fellow in this program, you will be encouraged to take full advantage of these opportunities.
