ASES
Fellowship Program Recognition Requirements
|
|
In December 2016, ASES released the Fellowship Program Recognition Requirements for programs interested in participating in the ASES-recognized Fellowship Match. All existing fellowship programs that are not accredited by ACGME as well as those interested in starting new fellowships are invited to submit an application to ASES. The program requirements and application can be found in members-only section of the ASES website. Applications must be accompanied by a detailed description of educational curriculum, a list of qualifying shoulder and elbow cases and a representative clinical schedule for the fellow.
All applications received by March 30, 2017, will be reviewed by the ASES Fellowship Program Review Committee and considered for acceptance. Programs that meet all requirements, will be added to the ASES-recognized fellowship match listing on the ASES website and invited to register for the forthcoming match cycle (i.e., register in August 2017 for match in March 2018, for training beginning 2019). The Fellowship Program Recognition Requirements can be found in members-only section of the ASES website.
Programs accredited through ACGME are not required to submit the ASES Program Application. However, these programs must submit to the society proof of the ACGME accreditation status along with an administrative fee of $150.
Fellowship programs that are not ACGME-accredited, and do not submit the ASES Fellowship Programs Application by March 30, 2017, will not be eligible for the ASES Match this year. These programs will be invited to re-apply the following year or provide proof of ACGME accreditation.

Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears: On Whom Should We Operate?
The prevalence of rotator-cuff tears is reportedly as high as 30% in people over the age of 60 years. Yet there is still no clear consensus on indications for surgical treatment of nontraumatic full-thickness tears.
This complimentary webinar, hosted jointly by The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS) and the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (JSES), reveals findings from two recent Level I studies. One investigates how to predict which patients are most likely to opt for surgery after initial non-operative management, and the other discerns which of three management approaches yields the most positive clinical outcomes.
More information will be coming soon.
