John Alexander, MD
- Program Director, Musculoskeletal Oncology Fellowship Assistant Professor of Clinical Orthopaedics, Division of Musculoskeletal Oncology
Excellence in patient care, research, and education is the overall goal of the Department of Orthopaedics at The Ohio State University. The musculoskeletal oncology training program is committed to a process of maturation in the pursuit of knowledge, and the development of intellectual capacity leading to a lifelong commitment to the fundamentals of a career in orthopaedic oncology. Fellows will be exposed to the full spectrum of adult and pediatric clinical activities, teaching, and research.
The program encompasses one of the most complete continuum's of sarcoma research and clinical faculty in the United States. As such, in contrast to many fellowship programs, the fellow will focus solely on orthopaedic oncology patients and will not participate in general orthopaedic cases. The program consists of rotations with core faculty in adult musculoskeletal oncology and is supplemented with clinical exposure to pediatric musculoskeletal oncology patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. The fellow will also take part in interdisciplinary training with faculty in radiation oncology and medical oncology.
Applications for fellowship are accepted through the SF Match. Applications are reviewed by the selection committee and are selected on the basis of their preparedness, ability, aptitude, academic credentials, communication skills and personal qualities.
Application deadline: October 9, 2023
