Deadline March 31, 2013

The AAOS/OREF/ORS Clinician Scientist Development Program (CSDP) seeks applicants in their PGY2-PGY5 residency years, in fellowships, and Junior Faculty through year three who have the potential and desire to become orthopaedic clinician scientists.  Up to fifteen participants are selected to participate in the one and a half day CSDP training workshop. 

The CSDP provides participants with an orientation to the research environment including research history, funding sources and orthopaedic research organizations.  The workshop also provides the opportunity to meet and interact with research professors and establish a mentor relationship with selected faculty. 

Applicants interested in hand surgery should check the ‘hand’ box on the application form.  If chosen for the program, one of these applicants will be sponsored by the ASSH.
