This fellowship provides concentrated exposure to complex orthopedic surgery, advanced imaging guided procedures, and perioperative case management in elite equine athletes, within a hospital based, non-travel practice model.
Fellowship Focus & ACVS Alignment This fellowship is structured to support ACVS large animal surgery board preparation, with emphasis on advanced case exposure, refinement of surgical technique, and continued development of clinical judgment following residency training.

Over 100 fracture repairs, including complex and referral orthopedic trauma

Mentorship, Autonomy & Education
Collaboration with experienced, board‑certified equine surgeons

Dedicated time off availability for board study and examination preparation
A schedule structured to support focused study while maintaining surgical involvement
Institutional support for candidates actively pursuing ACVS certification
