“We are thrilled to create this pathway for the next generation of aspiring orthopedic PAs. For years OrthoCarolina has been one of the nation’s most sought-after sites for orthopedic MD fellows and residents. We are now able to extend that same opportunity to the Physician Assistant, offering them an educational track to ultimately equip them to competently and confidently treat orthopedic patients across the country,” said Andy Hylton, PA, OrthoCarolina’s Director of Advanced Practice Practitioners.
Beyond clinical and surgical training, the fellowship incorporates leadership development, research opportunities, diversity and inclusion awareness, and communication skill-building, ensuring graduates emerge as well-rounded, highly skilled practitioners. The program’s didactic phase includes weekly conferences, journal clubs, evening lectures, and leadership training to further enhance the fellows’ expertise.
The Orthopedic PA Fellowship Program underscores OrthoCarolina’s dedication to fostering clinical excellence, innovation, and patient-centered care. By equipping PAs with advanced skills and specialized training, OrthoCarolina is shaping the future of orthopedic care, ensuring the next generation of providers is prepared to meet the evolving needs of patients nationwide.
