KeymasterHello everyone, I am interested as well to hear from you about the fellowship interview slots. Thank you!
KeymasterJust ABOS
KeymasterThank you very much for the information.
Does there have to be any ACGME approval or just from the ABOS?KeymasterYou will need a letter from the surgery program stating what rotations they completed/will complete during the prelim year and along with that letter, your PD will need to send a letter to the ABOS asking permission to allow those rotations to count in your ortho program. The ABOS will then respond with what if any they will allow credit for in the PGY-1 ortho year. Make sure you keep copies of all correspondence with the ABOS. Happy to discuss further if you would like to contact me directly – cthompson@hsc.wvu.edu or 304-293-1168. Cindy
KeymasterWe have sent out a survey the past two years. Last year we sent it out after match day and we received little response. This year we sent it out after the rank list deadline, but before match day, and we had a much better response. It comes from our GME department and goes to everyone who interviewed with any of our residency programs, then the GME department breaks out the responses by specialty.
April 15, 2019 at 2:17 pm in reply to: Can a residency coordinator also be a fellowship coordinator under ACGME? #1458KeymasterWas this because you have more than 20 residents? The only thing I have been able to find on that per ACGME is that if there are more than 20 residents you are required to have an ‘assistant.’
KeymasterThe graduates receive an engraved chair and may choose the captain’s chair or rocker. The wives are given a monogrammed serving piece chosen by the Chair’s wife.
I like the alumni gifts Courtney mentioned!
KeymasterHi Sarah,
We have a dedicated spine rotation for our PGY3’s and PGY4’s on ortho only, not combined with neurosurgery.

KeymasterWe give ours Pendleton Woolen Mills blankets. We are in Oregon, and there is a Crater Lake one. This year, we will be having them embroidered with the graduates name and date.
KeymasterAmy, I also don’t know and am in a similar boat. If you learn anything, I would love to have you share it.
KeymasterThe last couple of years we have given the fellows engraved MontBlanc pens.
KeymasterWe have a sort of non traditional gift. We give out a femur bone that is signed by each of the faculty members and then we put the bone in a glass display case. I always wondered if people liked it or not, and then I was contacted by a former resident who said his was lost in a move and wanted to know if he could pay us to get another one!
Our Alumni Association also gives the graduates a fleece jacket, hat, and pin upon being inducted into the Alumni Association.KeymasterDon’t forget to update your ARCOS Website profile with a photo and more information. Someone might be looking to connect with you and is not sure that is YOU!
Have a lovely weekend!!
~LaurelKeymasterwe give them an engraved chair or lamp. We use this company
https://www.standardchair.com/KeymasterWe give each grad a “Tree of Andry” sculpture. Here is the link:

I attached a photo.
