External Deadline: 
Dec 2019

OMeGA is accepting fellowship applications for the 2018-2019 academic year through Tuesday, December 5, 2017, 5:00pm CST.

Grants support clinical orthopaedic fellowship programs and may be used for a fellow's salary and benefits. (Programs can request preapproval of other direct educational expenses if salary and benefit support is not possible.) Applications are scored individually and ranked in comparison to other subspecialty applicants. Awards are determined by available funding each academic year, which varies by subspecialty.
