The CORE Institute Spine Fellowship offers a one-year post-residency program in the management of spinal disorders. The Spine Division is comprised of talented leaders covering all areas of spine surgical treatment with a team of pain management and rehabilitation specialists who provide non-operative spine care. Spinal disorder management includes non-surgical and surgical workups as well as preoperative evaluation and appropriate patient selection. Surgical training includes cutting-edge minimally invasive and open surgeries in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, from the anterior, lateral, and posterior approaches. Degenerative conditions as well as tumors, fractures, and adult deformity are part of the experience. The fellow will actively prepare for and participate in monthly spine conferences and journal clubs. The fellow will benefit from access to a biomechanical research laboratory, motion analysis laboratory, and a clinical research infrastructure with a fully staffed team of regulatory, contract, grant, and research coordinators.

Requirements when applying:  CV, Personal Statement, three letters of recommendation. 

Completion of or currently participating in an Orthopedic Surgery Residency in the United States or Canada is required.
