Research Miller School of Medicine

Two projects resulting in peer-reviewed publication are expected. Clinical research opportunities are varied, ensuring that the fellow can engage in projects that are of interest to them. Research mentorship is provided by every attending in the division. Fellows are encouraged to take on projects existent within the division or create their own.

Sarcoma basic science and translational projects are ongoing and available for collaboration. The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery has a strong and productive relationship with the University of Miami College of Engineering with an impressive record of publications across all of our orthopaedic divisions, including oncology.
