The 2014 - 2015 Fellows Alumni of the Steadman Philippon Research Institute spent one year honing their skills in Vail. During their fellowship these individuals gained invaluable experience working alongside some of the world’s leading experts in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, cutting-edge research and surgical techniques. The knowledge and skills developed during this time have shaped their careers and empowered them to influence patient care, education and research in orthopaedics.
